Moss Lane, Holme, Cumbria

A rare opportunity to acquire approximately 5 acres of established freehold woodland in an attractive rural setting on the edge of Holme, near Carnforth. The land comprises a Pine and Spruce plantation originally planted in the 1980s, bounded on three sides by mature native hedgerow, with a band of broadleaf species to the frontage including Linden, Silver Birch, Rowan and Hazel. Natural regeneration is present throughout, with Willow, Elder, Oak, Ash and Yew interspersed across the site, creating a diverse and well-established woodland environment.

The woodland includes a central pond with drainage leading to and from it, supporting small fish and local wildlife. The northern boundary runs along the centre of a beck and adjoins a public footpath (fenced from the woodland). The site is known to support a variety of wildlife including owls and other bird species, woodpigeons, frogs, dragonflies, hare and occasional stoat. A number of fruit trees have been planted within the woodland and a clearing of approximately half an acre has been created for market garden use. A further clearing connects to a central ride running through the plot.

There is a timber building on site which benefits from planning permission (granted in 2008) as a store. Interested parties should make their own enquiries with the local planning authority regarding any alternative uses or future potential. Additional movable outbuildings and a compost toilet are present on site.

The land benefits from gated access off a country road approximately one mile from the A6, with two concrete bridges providing access and a stoned area suitable for parking multiple vehicles.

Positioned within easy reach of Carnforth and conveniently located for access to the Lake District National Park and the M6 motorway, the property combines accessibility with a peaceful and secluded rural setting.
