And finally… Wood you believe it?
For anyone who’s ever dreamed of swapping the daily commute for birdsong and bluebells, a rare opportunity has emerged in the heart of Nidderdale.
A 16-acre stretch of woodland near Bewerley has come onto the market with a guide price of £95,000, offering its new owner the chance to enjoy a private piece of the North Yorkshire countryside – complete with spectacular views and shooting rights.
The woodland sits close to Nought Moor, around five minutes from Pateley Bridge, and is being marketed by rural property consultancy Lister Haigh.
Whether it’s a peaceful retreat, a place to explore nature, or simply the satisfaction of owning a woodland, properties of this type rarely become available.
The sale comes following Lister Haigh’s acquisition by Yorkshire property firm Dacre, Son & Hartley.
For buyers looking for something a little different, this could be one of the most unusual opportunities to hit the North Yorkshire property market this year.
Giles Chaplin from Lister Haigh, said: “This is a unique chance to purchase an unspoilt part of Nidderdale, which enjoys panoramic views down the Nidd Valley. Close to the gate where you enter the land, there is a level area that could accommodate a variety of leisure or amenity uses, subject to securing the necessary planning consents.
“We’re expecting interest from a wide range of buyers including those with hobby farming and conservation interests, as well as anyone else who aspires to own a tranquil piece of paradise.”
