Description

At the end of a private track sits a well-established Walnut Orchard. This tranquil spot is surrounded

At the end of a private track sits a well-established walnut orchard. This tranquil spot is surrounded by private orchards and woodland, with a separate area planted with cobnuts.

Patches of daffodils and bluebells are nestled amongst the walnut trees. The orchard is set within grassland, which could easily be sown to create a wildflower meadow.

The trees are well spaced, providing dappled shade during the summer months.

A very useful shelter provides protection from inclement weather.

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
