Description

Little Wood lies within Windlestone Estate, the childhood home of the former Prime Minister Anthony Eden. It occupies level and undulating ground amidst a mosaic of fields and other woods, fronting a minor lane and the A689. The A1(M) is 3 miles away giving easy access to Durham (20 minutes) and Newcastle (40 minutes). The historic market town of Bishop Auckland is 4 miles to the west.

This pocket-sized wood supports a surprising variety of species in its modest acreage including some substantial mature stems. Elm, lime, sycamore, oak, birch, poplar, ash, yew and cherry are all present, while the shrub layer below includes hawthorn, holly and elder. The woodland floor is largely clear of entangling vegetation giving access to most areas.

Access is taken directly off Windlestone Lane via a small unsurfaced track leading into the wood.

Little Wood is small, fun and affordable, offering an ideal entry into woodland ownership.

Note: The Windlestone Nursery sign at the southeast corner can be removed prior to completion of a sale.

If It Were Mine

I might single out some of the stems for a little firewood and perhaps clear a site for the occasional BBQ or night under the stars.

Please remember some management operations require approval and/or a licence.
