Whether your interest lies with conservation or in commercial woodland management there is a way to improve the site with many income generation avenues. Brigham Quarry Wood is a former limestone quarry which has been partially restored to woodland cover. Situated in the centre of Brigham this is a real haven for wildlife being enclosed and almost cut off from the village bustle and with the former quarry faces along most of the boundaries. Indeed, it is impossible for anyone walking along what appears to be road frontage to enter the wood. Prospective purchasers will therefore revel in the solitude offered within this wood. This is a really good example of land left alone to look after itself once man has stopped working a quarry. LOT 1: BRIGHAM WOOD DEVELOPMENT SITE 0.48 hectares / 1.18 acres This is a rare opportunity to purchase a good sized development plot that could be utilised for a wide range of business or leisure purposes. Currently and of particular note is the planning permission for the development of a forestry store building. This planning permission gives prospective purchasers the opportunity to potentially alter the permission to suit subject to further planning permission. Rights of Way Lot 1 is sold with the benefit of a right of way for all purposes over the route shown AB shaded brown on the sale plan with maintenance according to user. The lot is sold subject to a right of way for all purposes over the route BC shaded blue on the sale plan in favour of lot 2 with maintenance according to user. OFFERS IN EXCESS OF 60,000 ARE INVITED FOR LOT 1 LOT 2: 6.59 hectares / 16.27 acres The woodland is stocked with a credible crop of mixed sycamore and ash that is clearly now on the verge of providing the woodland owner with a constant supply of firewood for sale or for personal use. Once having reached the gated entrance access within the wood is easy. There are a number of pathways one of which leads to an old bridge under Stan Lonning which connects the main part of the wood to another section on the opposite side of the road. This is a further area of even wilder woodland enclosed by it s quarry faces beyond this bridge. Additional features include areas of wetland and some small areas of open water which could be managed or transformed into larger areas of managed wetland. The dense woodland cover and abundance of a variety of habitats offers a real opportunity for those with an interest in nature conservation to really get to grips with this small but fascinating site. Further attractions to a purchaser might include continuing to let the woodland entrance to a small landscaping firm in a short term tenancy or, manage the woodland for conservation or diversity into the future.
