It will be a left hand thread.
Best to make a note of the diameter and distance across the flats and purchase a suitable fixed-cup bottom bracket spanner.
It won't saw out because it is hardened steel.

I am currently starting a single speed project with an old Raleigh Winner frame. I have stripped the frame however have encountered a problem when removing the chainset and bottom bracket, in that I can not remove the final nut of the bottom bracket!
As shown in the pictures one side can free fine with the chainset, however the opposite side is proving impossible to remove with wrenches. I understand that this is likely to have a reverse thread, however I can not seem to get any grip or leverage on the nut to break its seal.
Can anyone give me any help or tips before I attempt to cut the nut out with a saw!!
Thanks
