4.25 acres

Description

Escape to your own slice of the Norfolk countryside.

Tucked away near the peaceful village of Riddlesworth, this delightful small woodland offers a rare opportunity to own a private natural retreat. With a well-maintained access track leading directly to the wood it is easy to reach while still feeling secluded and tranquil.

The woodland is predominantly stocked with mature Scots pine, creating a beautiful evergreen canopy and that wonderful woodland scent all year round. Interspersed among the pines are graceful silver birch, adding light, texture and seasonal colour — from fresh spring greens to golden autumn tones.

Key features

  • Excellent access via a solid track suitable for vehicles
  • Attractive mix of Scots pine and silver birch
  • Peaceful rural setting with a real sense of privacy
  • Ideal for conservation, recreation, camping, or simply escaping the busy world
  • Manageable size for first-time woodland ownership

Whether you dream of weekend campfires, wildlife watching, or owning a long-term investment in nature, this charming Norfolk wood is ready to welcome its new custodian.
