John's Hill Wood - 1.7 acres, £19,000

John's Hill Wood is a small, mixed conifer woodland perched on a rocky knoll commanding southern and westerly views over to Cairnpapple Hill and the Pentlands in the distance. There are some broadleaves amongst the semi-mature conifers and hawthorn hedgerows along all boundaries.

The access to John's Hill Wood would be taken directly from the minor country road which runs along its northern boundary, with a potential gateway to be found at the northwest corner.

Sporting rights are included. Mineral rights are reserved to a previous owner (but could not be exercised without planning permission which would almost certainly be refused).

The land is covered by a development clause put in place by a previous owner. If the new owner gets planning permission for a change of use within the next 12.5 years then three quarters of the increase in value of the land that results is payable to that previous owner. Woodland management and sales are not affected by this clause.

Surrounding Area: John's Hill Wood is situated between the prehistoric Cairnpapple Hill & Henge site to the east and the Riccarton Hills to the west. These form part of a chain of hills stretching across a wide rural belt between the M9 motorway to the north and the M8 to the south. Beecraigs Park and Torphichen village are nearby. A further 5 to 10 miles away are Linlithgow, Bathgate and Livingston. Just south of the Royal Burgh and Palace of Linlithgow is the Union Canal that links Edinburgh with the Clyde and Forth canals at the nearby Falkirk Wheel attraction. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow are within 35 miles.

Price: £19,000 Freehold
Location: Torphichen, Linlithgow
Size: 1.7 acres for sale
