Lyme Road, Uplyme, Axminster

Delightful secluded woodland bordering the River Lym. Photos are taken throughout the year to show the changing seasons.

The Woodland - Exciting rare opportunity to acquire secluded mixed woodland bordering the River Lym in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The woodland extends to about 4 acres and comprises mature oak, hornbeam, ash, hazel, beech, spruce and sycamore. There is also a wide variety of hawthorn, holly and naturally regenerating saplings amongst lush ferns and vibrant bluebells. In 2011 some 140 young trees of varied species were planted. Recent larch felling has taken place and a new replanting grant may be available.

The woodland is on a gentle slope with good flat areas along the river and there is a compost loo and shelter for rainy days, which requires refurbishment.

There is a wide variety of wildlife including deer, badgers, birdlife and an otter has also been spotted in the river.

There is off-road parking, particularly suitable for a 4 x 4. This parking area is not part of the freehold.

The boundaries are marked in blue paint and open on all sides. The western boundary follows the River Lym.
