Description

Roger Parry & Partners are delighted to offer for sale by private treaty a charming parcel of established woodland set within the beautiful Shropshire countryside.

Description - Presenting an opportunity to acquire a woodland predominantly consisting of native broadleaf trees and extending to 1.32 acres (0.54 hectares) or thereabouts. Rising steeply from the roadside with a westerly aspect facing towards the one of the stunning views that Shropshire has to offer. The woodland is interspersed with small areas of more level ground awarding valuable space for the likes of camping and recreational activities. The land is ideally suited for private amenity use and also has further opportunities such as through natural capital earnings and biodiversity net gain.

The land is situated in a rural position providing a quiet and peaceful retreat, while being easily accessible with the A488 being only one and a half miles away. There is timber post and wire fencing to some of the boundaries. Though there is currently no vehicular access onto the land, there is potential to create an area for parking, subject to gaining the necessary consents.

Method Of Sale - For sale by private treaty.

Tenure - Freehold with vacant possession.

Boundaries - Any purchaser shall be deemed to have full knowledge of all boundaries and neither the Vendor nor the Vendor’s Agents are responsible for defining the boundaries or ownership thereof.

Access - The land is accessible on foot.

Legal Information - There shall be an overage provision on the woodland where the vendor will receive 30 percent of any uplift in value for a period of 25 years as a result of any non-agricultural or non-equestrian development.

Services - Purchasers are to make their own enquiries in relation to the availability and connection of services and utilities.

Easements, Wayleaves And Rights Of Way - The property will be sold subject to and with the benefit of all wayleaves, easements and rights of way whether mentioned in these particulars or not.
