Beche Wood - Almost 6 acres, £25,000

Description: Beche Wood is an attractive mixed woodland with direct road frontage and is in two distinct regions. The western area comprises mature Scots pine trees planted over 75 years ago which were recently thinned to aid the growth of their girth and this has also resulted in the successful regeneration of mixed broadleaves below. The eastern section has a boundary of mature grand beech trees in front of recently planted spruce intermingled with the natural regeneration of native broadleaves and mixed conifer.

Access: is off the B974 along approx. 80m of a shared private track, through a single gate, then along a hard private access track over which there is a full right of access for all purposes.

Sporting Rights: These are owned and included with the land.

Special Rights/Wayleaves: a right is reserved for the benefit of the retained land to clean the main ditch along the southern boundary.

Thornton Woodlands: which Beche Wood is part of, are situated in idyllic, historic and very peaceful rural surroundings. The trees are a diverse mixture of species and ages and have been sympathetically managed. Currently mature Scots pine, young spruce and birch are dominant, but there are significant areas of mixed broadleaves including oak and alder. Red squirrels, deer, hare with lots of small mammals and birds including woodpecker inhabit the woods. There are grants for encouraging capercaille which occupied the area until recent times.

Surrounding Area: Nearby are the tourist villages of Edzell, with its hidden "rocks of solitude" walk along the North Esk river, and Fettercairn with its working distillery. Slightly further afield are Glamis Castle and Lunan Bay beach and the fishing town of Montrose. Dundee and Aberdeen are each approximately 35 mins drive.

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: £25,000 Freehold
Location: Fettercairn, Laurencekirk, South Aberdeenshire
