Street Wood - SOLD, Co Durham - About 4¾ acres, £35,000
Street Wood takes its name from the Dere Street Roman road the line of which passes through the wood. The wood consists mainly of Scots pine and larch but with some sycamore, ash and birch as well as beech and oak. The majority of the wood was planted about twenty five years ago though a small area to the south has been planted more recently providing an excellent habitat for song birds and other wildlife. From the sunny south side of the wood there are sweeping views across the Stockley valley where deer can often be seen grazing in the open fields.
Where there are conifers the canopy has mostly closed and the wood floor is open and free of vegetation but in other areas there are heather, bilberry and wood sorrel.
Access is off the minor road, Wolsingham Lane, and along the forest track alongside the wood where there is a right of way "for all purposes and at all times".
This part of Co. Durham is characterised by gentle valleys with open fields and expansive vistas, the nearest village, Brancepth has plenty of fine buildings including the grand Brancepeth Castle.
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.
