DESCRIPTION The woodland was established in 2005, on former agricultural land, with mainly high yielding Sitka spruce. In addition, there are some areas with a mix of European larch, Scots pine and Norway spruce. There are also attractive areas of well- established mixed native broadleaves creating a diverse woodland structure. Unplanted, open ground has been retained to improve the woodland design and provide access throughout, via open rides and clearings. There are also two grassland paddocks that would be ideal for grazing or, potentially future development. Full planning consent has been granted for a two storey, four bedroom modern house, with detached garage, to be developed on the site of an old agricultural building situated in the heart of the property.
