The MOD doesn't own any of it. Part of the estate (now thick hazel coppice and xmas tree plantations) were used during the war to house soldiers for the d-day landings as there is an old air field on the boundary.

Before I got into trees I worked as an assistant land agent, and dealt with properties of this size a fair bit. One bloke was on the books (to buy) with a list of things that his place must have. One of them was at least 200 estate cottages. Apparently his reason was "So I can kick out someone every time we loose the cricket"

 

 

Some people, you almost have to laugh.

Scanned out that airfield for putting on a rave about ten years ago. Farm cottages dotted all over it soon put that idea in the bin. That was the beginning, and ending, of my rave organisation.
