Aldercombe Wood - SOLD, Cornwall - 7 acres, £45,000

Bordered on all sides by mature hedge-banks, Aldercombe Wood is mostly growing spruce trees, offering the possibility of a timber harvest in the future. From its private access gate near the south-west corner, the land slopes gently down towards the nothern boundary which has a small stream running along it. A narrow track runs down inside the eastern boundary. About 80% of the wood is planted with spruce. The remainder is rough grassland and it is here in this very enclosed and private area that the varied birdlife can best be enjoyed. Roe deer are regularly seen here too. The grassland area is sparsely populated with spruce and other sprecies such as willow and hazel, whilst the hedges contain a wide variety of species. The wood is set among further areas of woodland and farmland. Despite being only a mile or so from the village of Kilkhampton, from where much of what North Cornwall has to offer is easily accessible, the wood has a very peaceful and secluded feel to it.

The woodlands were established about 10 years ago and there is a modest income available under the woodland grant scheme for another 5 – 6 years.

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.

Price: £45,000 Freehold
Location: Kilkhampton, Cornwall
Size: 7 acres for sale
