For Sale by Informal Tender
Approximately 17 acres of managed wood and amenity land
General Remarks - The sale of Wentnor Woods represents a unique opportunity to aquire a beautifully located parcel of land extending to just over 17 acres and comprising a mixture of managed native woodland and amenity space with outstanding potential for a variety of private or commercial uses including the production of timber crops and leisure or recreational activities subject to consents.
Originally two pasture fields, the land was planted in 2002 with a variety of broad leaved trees. The soil is loamy clay and is East facing, sloping gently down to its boundary, with spectacular views through the trees to the Longmynd mountain range. The whole site is securely fenced and has a mature hedgerow to all boundaries.
The wood has two direct road access points at its Northern and Southern ends onto the country lane between Wentnor and Criftins. There is a circular grass ride used for management that links the two access points and which provides open amenity space which enjoys an abundance of peace and tranquil solitude.
Location - The woods are situated in South Shropshire on the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and less than a quarter mile South of the village of Wentnor. The mediaeval town of Bishops Castle is 8 miles South and the county town of Shrewsbury is approximately 15 miles to the North.
Crop Species - The trees planted and managed are mainly of English Oak and a range of other native broadleaves including Wild Cherry, Ash, Field Maple and Birch. There are also some nice examples of wild pear and woody scrub species planted along the ride edges. The crop area is fully stocked and now approximately 20 years of age and ready to be thinned and yield worthwhile crops of firewood or biomass chip for a strong local market
Grants & Licenses - Wentnor Woods has an approved forestry commission and UK Woodland Assurance woodland management plan in place for the next 9 years. This contains a felling license, permission to thin the woodland twice within that period.
Having such a plan also means that the woodland owner can potentially access grant funding from the Rural Development Agency Countryside Stewardship Scheme for certain improvement works. Consent has also been granted for the improvement of the access at the Southern end to enable vehicles and equipment into the site for extracting and stacking timber.
The tender should state the amount offered, the full contact details of the applicant together with confirmation of how the proposed purchase will be financed.
