Woodland, Reepham Road, Swannington, Norwich, Norfolk, NR9

Land size
16.28 acres

Description

Two parcels of mixed woodland on the fringe of the village of Swannington and within easy reach of Norwich.

The woodland extends in all to approximately 6.59 hectares (16.28 acres) as shown outlined red on the sale plan.

The principal parcel surrounds a poultry farm known as Black Breck Farm and benefits from good vehicular access off the Reepham Road onto a shared concrete drive. A public footpath runs along the northern boundary of the land which forms part of the area for sale.

The woodland comprises a mix of species including Silver Birch, Oak, Maple, Horse Chestnut, Holly, Beech, Rowan, Spruce and Pine. There are some Rhododendron growing. Through the majority of the woodland there is a 'blanket' of bracken covering the understory.

The second parcel is much smaller and is accessed either on foot via the footpath or off the road leading to Upgate.

This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a small parcel of woodland for private use or for commercial management by exploring the value of the timber and opportunities for thinning and felling (subject to necessary permissions).

LOCATION
The land is located approximately 1.7 miles to the south east of the village of Swannington and approximately 1.1 miles east of the village of Attlebridge. The suburb of Thorpe Marriott is approximately 3.0 miles to the south east. The centre of the City of Norwich is approximately 8.5 miles to the south east.

DIRECTIONS
From Norwich get onto the A1270 Broadland Northway heading towards Fakenham. At the roundabout take the exit for Fir Covert Road N heading towards Felthorpe. At the end of Fir Covert Road turn left onto Reepham Road. Continue along Reepham Road for approximately 1.0 mile and the concrete entrance drive will be on your right with the name Black Breck Farm.

There is space to park off the concrete drive on the left so as to not block access for the poultry farm.

The land will be marked by an Arnolds Key "For Sale" board.

The second small parcel is accessible either on foot via the footpath or by turning left out of the drive, taking the first left and then the
next left onto 'Upgate' signposted for Swannington. Continue along the road for approximately 300 yards and the copse of trees will be
immediately on your left.
