A rare opportunity to acquire approximately 14 acres of attractive mixed woodland occupying a beautiful valley setting, offering exceptional amenity, wildlife and conservation appeal.

DESCRIPTION
Halls are delighted with instructions to offer 14 Acres of Mixed Woodland for sale by Informal Tender.

The woodland forms part of Lion Lane Wood and comprises an attractive mixture of mature broadleaf and conifer woodland together with areas of natural regeneration, creating an exceptionally diverse and picturesque landscape.

Offering considerable amenity, recreational and conservation appeal, the property will suit purchasers seeking a private countryside retreat, wildlife enthusiasts, woodland investors or those wishing to enjoy the unique experience of owning an attractive area of freehold woodland.
