Former Sawmill Site

This parcel of woodland on the edge of Kielder village in a stunning rural location surrounded by breath-taking hills, dramatic scenery and wildlife.

The former sawmill site is accessed via a good track which culminates at an area of tarmac hard standing and extends to about 12 acres of mature and semi mature woodland together with some naturally regenerated scrub.

In respect of planning opportunities, the site is located within the Kielder Forest which forms part of a key tourism area for Northumberland County Council. There is a well-established tourism base already in Kielder with numerous campsites and lodge parks within close proximity to the site, creating a good precedent for possible tourism uses at this site.

The Northumberland National Park is a fabulous place to live and stay and attracts thousands of tourists each year. Home to the countries cleanest air and rivers and darkest sky, Kielder reservoir was created in the 1970’s and now forms one of the central parts of the National Park.

The Dark Sky Park has become a strong tourist attraction in its own right and together with the reservoir which is a hub for water sports and wildlife (Red squirrels and ospreys aplenty) and sporting events such as the Kielder half and full marathons.

The sporting rights are not included in the sale.

The 1972 conveyance included a right to connect to a private water supply.
