Description

Allt y Gigfran stands around seven miles north of the town of Lampeter, Ceredigion, a busy rural settlement with good amenities including supermarkets, a petrol station and a University campus. Having a pleasant northerly aspect, this well-stocked mature plantation overlooks the picturesque Aeron Valley that culminates at the seaside town of Aberaeron ten miles away.

The woodland is available as a whole or in two lots, Lot 1 is predominantly newly planted broadleaf with Lot 2 being mature mixed conifer. Parts of the property are designated as a Plantation on Ancient Woodland Site (PAWS), with evidence of continuous tree cover since the 1600s. Broadleaf species are scattered throughout, including mature oak, rowan, hazel and holly. The diverse woodland flora includes bluebells and numerous ferns such as the hard shield and scaly male.

Soils are fertile, free-draining brown earths with average rainfall 50cm annually. Substantial access improvements recently undertaken provide accessibility to the whole property facilitating convenient onward management.

Lot 1 – 16.95 acres for £29,000 (freehold) (SOLD)

Lot 1 enjoys far-reaching views of the Aeron Valley. Access is via a recently upgraded forest track and benefits from a useful surfaced area. The majority of the wood is recently re-planted thriving native broadleaf, sheltered by widely spaced mature oak to the west. A new owner needs to maintain the recently planted area to full establishment. A fast-flowing stream fed from a spring defines the northwestern boundary of the wood.

Lot 2 – 13.58 acres for £62,000 (freehold) (SOLD)

The conifer, planted approximately 50 – 60 years ago is unthinned and in late-rotation presenting a substantial volume of standing timber. Species include noble fir, western hemlock, Douglas fir and larch with fringes of mixed broadleaf. Ground flora include bluebell, dog’s mercury and several fern species (especially in the PAWS areas). The conifer is of good form and quality and offers a valuable resource. There is a large stacking bay midway along the recently improved access track facilitating future management. There is also seasonal demand for noble fir foliage for festive wreath making, offering a potential source of income. An outstanding Glastir grant (to be completed by the end of 2018) of approx. £2,400 is available for thinning and planting works – this may be transferred to a new owner if required.
