    Simply felled in a wood/forest

    or

    Removed without impacting on a closely passing public and/or damaging a host of surrounding structures?

    2 completely different scenarios. 2 completely different cost profiles.

    I'm sure you see what I mean.

    Yes they are near a road and a cottage so would need to be knocked down by someone who knows what they are doing. Is their much demand for these trees?

    Once felled, I'm sure you would get takers for them as firewood- There's just not enough of them to be of much commercial interest.

    The knocking of them will cost you a lot more than you will get from selling them. You will need a professional who is equipped, insured and experienced to deal with these safely. Get 2 or 3 experienced Tree Surgeons to take a look and get quotations.
