Description

4.84 acres (1.96 hectares) of mixed woodland located in a peaceful, rural location. The woodland is rich in wildlife with good access and internal paths.

The Land - A unique opportunity to acquire 4.84 acres (1.96 hectares) of mixed woodland. The woodland consists of mature conifers and a mixture of native broadleaf trees. The property is part of an ancient woodland and is situated within Dorset's National Landscape . For the last 22 years the woodland has been carefully restored into a wildlife haven.

There are open spaces and internal paths allowing woodland flora including bluebells and wild garlic to flourish. Seasonal brooks run through parts of Northlode Wood adding to biodiversity which has been enjoyed by over 60 bird species recorded on the property.

The woodland is situated at the end of a hardcore track from the highway, offering peaceful seclusion and space for parking. Northlode Wood may also offer potential for temporary recreational camping, subject to the necessary conditions, limitations and any required notifications or consents, with the endless opportunity to harvest firewood.
