Description
*** Auction guide price: £80,000 - £100,000 ***
A mature parcel of established woodland comprising a varied selection of species with scope for a variety of commercial purposes, extending, in all, to around 19.51 acres and situated on the site of a former quarry in the rural hamlet of Nantyr, near Glyn Ceiriog.
Description - Halls are delighted to offer approximately 19.51 acres of mature woodland forming part of the Cambrian Quarry for sale by public auction.
Situated on the site of the Cambrian Quarry slate quarry with evidence of the former workings standing as an impressive backdrop to the woodland. The parcel extends, in all, to circa 19.51 acres and is readily accessible off a council-maintained road, with a useful internal track allowing for movement with the land.
The parcel comprises a varied selection of trees including Pine, Spruce, Larch, Fir, Birch, and Beech, alongside a copse of mature Oak, some of which have been planted on a considered rotation by the current vendor and which offer commercial buyers the opportunity for timber management and extraction.
Aside from being of interest to those with commercial timber interests, the land may hold potential for other commercial buyers, with potential for development into the outdoor pursuits and/or hospitality sectors, subject to the necessary permissions. The land will also appeal to those looking to expanding their current holding and, being so idyllically situated, to those simply looking to own a dramatic parcel of the Welsh landscape.
Situated within the woodland is a Welfare Hut of predominately timber construction.
N.B. - A further circa 24.24 acres of adjoining woodland will be offered within the same auction, as denoted in red on the associated plan.
Situation - The woodland enjoys an idyllically rural setting near to the thriving village of Glyn Ceiriog, positioned around a mile to the southeast and providing a respectable range of day-to-day amenities, including School, Convenience Store, Public House, and Pharmacy; with the town of Llangollen lying approximately 5 miles to the north and affording access to a more comprehensive range of facilities. The county centre of Wrexham is reachable by car in around 30 minutes and offers an array of attractions, including cultural and artistic points of interest.
Local Authority - Wrexham Council
Tenure & Possession - The land is said to be of freehold tenure and vacant possession will be granted upon completion.
