** woodland for sale by informal tender **

A fantastic and rare opportunity to purchase your own piece of natural Shropshire landscape. Approximately 4.75 acres/ 1.9 hectares of beautiful woodland with a mixture of native mature trees & pathways. A beautiful hideaway nestling in the rolling Shropshire hills a short distance from The Mynd.

Introduction

This mature woodland forms part of a much bigger woodland located close to The Bog Visitor Centre which is an historic area set in the rolling Shropshire Hills with The Mynd in view and located in between the Stiperstones Nature Reserve & Nipstone Rock Nature Reserve - well off the beaten track but accessible by a good 4 x 4.

The woodland measures approximately between 4.75 & 5 acres and is in the main enclosed roughly by some fencing and purple marked tree trunks and is an absolute haven for wild life including nesting birds, deer and a variety of other animals. Owning a woodland does come with its own responsibilities and although the land registry title may have your name on it, really you are the custodian of the wood, looking after it for the generations to come.

History

This area is steeped in history with this particular area popular 200 years ago as a thriving mining village with over 200 buildings, but only one remains, The School, which is now The Bog Visitor Centre. The area has become a haven for wildlife walks due to the breath taking views & scenery and with Wales only a few miles west this area, known as The Marches, is proliferated with castle ruins built for the Marcher Nobles to keep the Welsh out in the 11th & 12th Centuries.

Agents Note

There is a public footpath that runs across the very top corner of the wood and follows the western boundary for a short distance before crossing in to the adjacent field. This can be seen on any os map for clarity

Viewings By Appointment Only

The vendors are happy for prospective buyers to visit the wood but we would ask that you contact the agent prior so that we can advise the vendor accordingly. There are no public footpaths crossing the woodland and of course woodlands can be treacherous and we ask that everybody visiting takes responsibility for their own health & safety and neither the agent nor the vendors can be held liable in the case of injury howsoever caused.
