THE KINGTHORPE WOODLANDS
Kingthorpe, Pickering, North Yorkshire
Freehold for Sale by Private Treaty in 6 Lots
In all, 262.7 Acres (106.3 Hectares)
A collection of 6 woodland lots with a wide range of species and ages ranging from mature and maturing commercial crops and mixed broadleaves.
Location - Situated within the North Yorks Moors National Park about 2 miles to the north of Pickering which is approximately 29 miles from York and 18 miles from Whitby.
Description - The North Yorks Moors is a special place characterised by sweeping moorland, a crinkly coast, ancient woods and timeless villages. The National Park has extensive woodland cover comprising about a quarter of its 554 square miles. The Kingthorpe Woodlands lie within this treasured landscape. Those who have travelled along the North Yorkshire Moors Railway heritage line will have travelled past lot 1 as the line is adjacent to its western boundary.
This collection of 6 woodland lots includes a wide range of species and ages ranging from mature and maturing Japanese larch, Scots pine, and mixed broadleaves to the most recent plantings in 2015 of Douglas fir, Norway spruce
and oak.
The woodland contains ash where ash dieback disease is present. This disease is present in all counties of England and is likely to affect the majority of ash trees. In the short term this will offer woodland owners the opportunity for revenue from the early felling of these crops and the ability to influence the new direction of the woodland. Forestry Commission guidance in respect of alternative species for restocking include aspen, beech, birch, cherry, field maple,
hornbeam, lime, oak, rowan, sweet chestnut and sycamore depending on the site. Non-native broadleaves and conifers will be considered for sites with few constraints.
A stocking schedule and plan produced as part of the 2014-2024 Management Plan is available from the selling agents on request.
This collection of woodlands enjoys good internal access over unsurfaced tracks and most have direct access off public highways. The main block, lot 1, is principally situated on the eastern side of the Pickering Beck valley. The balance of the woods is amongst agricultural land.
Lot 1: Pickering Beck Wood - 184.42 acres/ 74.63 hectares
Guide price: £1,100,000
This mixed woodland enjoys good vehicular access off the A169 on its eastern boundary at points A and B on the sale plan. The northern access (A) was formerly part of the A road until its realignment many years ago. This access is included in the sale. The owner of Keepers Cottage has a right of way over the track from the A169 to his house and buildings and around the perimeter of his property. These accesses link with a comprehensive system of internal woodland rides.
The substantial area of maturing larch crops demonstrate what is achievable within this woodland from a commercial perspective. Recent restocking has included Douglas fir and further variety could be included following the clear felling of the larch in the coming years.
Pickering Beck Wood includes a long stretch of the stream meandering close to the western boundary and the famous heritage railway line. The importance of the site is reflected in its designation as the Newtondale Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). A copy of the designation can be obtained from the selling agents. Within this property most of the SSSI area is woodland, much of which is even aged ash. Natural England has stated it prefers to see a more diverse woodland structure with a range of species and ages. Natural Capital improvement works should be easily achievable in this area.
The majority of Pickering Beck Wood is classified as Plantation on an Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS) or, in the south western corner, Ancient Semi Natural Woodland (ASNW). These designations indicate there has been continuous tree cover since before 1600 AD.
The boundaries around Keepers Cottage principally follow the edge of the rides along the boundaries. These rides are included in the sale.
