Perfect Woodland Idyll
Posted by Greenslade Taylor Hunt on 5th October 2020 -
A delightful parcel of native ancient woodland in the picturesque Mendip Hills has been snapped up ahead of a planned livestream auction at more than double the asking price.
The attractive woodland at Rye Ditch Wood, Westbury Sub Mendip, near Wells, has huge environmental appeal and is classified as ancient woodland by Natural England. It is home to a range of native species including Oak, Ash and Hazel along with some Horse Chestnuts.
It extends to around 3.87 acres (1.57Ha) and is situated within the Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The auctioneers were quoting a guide price of £34,000.
Agricultural surveyor Jamie Batt MRICS FAAV said: “There was a phenomenal amount of interest in this lot, with prospective purchasers showing a huge demand for small parcels of woodland and/or pasture land.”
