Description
/ BACKGROUND Pioneer Wood comprises an attractive parcel of amenity land extending in all to approximately 13.03 acres, situated to the south of Scawton within the North York Moors National Park. The land is accessed directly from the A170 and benefits from good road frontage with benefit of secondary access off Greenlane track. Historically the land at Pioneer Wood has been intensively farmed until the recent planting of native woodland and shrubs which will create a significant environmental uplift, particularly when the woodland matures. This will create an excellent habitat for birds, mammals, insects, flora and fauna. There are mown grass tracks through the land, and the property enjoys an elevated position with attractive views over the surrounding countryside. There is a disused quarry situated to the south-east of the land. The land is suitable for amenity, conservation, wildlife and recreational purposes, subject to any necessary consents. The land may also offer future timber opportunities, particularly firewood when thinnings are taken. The land is likely to be of interest to lifestyle buyers, conservation purchasers, neighbouring landowners, smallholders and those seeking a private parcel of land in an accessible National Park location. LOCATION The land lies to the south of Scawton, within the North York Moors National Park, in an attractive rural position between Helmsley and Thirsk. The property is accessed directly from the A170, providing good road links to the surrounding villages and market towns. The A170 is the main route between Thirsk and Helmsley, making the land readily accessible while still enjoying a rural and scenic setting. Scawton is a small rural village positioned on the southern edge of the National Park. The surrounding area is characterised by rolling countryside, woodland, grassland and attractive long-distance views. Helmsley lies approximately 5 miles to the east and provides a good range of local facilities, including shops, public houses, restaurants, a primary school and other services. Thirsk lies approximately 10 miles to the west and offers a wider range of services and amenities, together with access to the A19 and rail connections. The property is situated approximately 28 miles from the historic City of York where further services are available including a mainline train service to London King's Cross and Edinburgh, Scotland in under 2 hours.
