Katie Hunter, Chartered Surveyor at H&H Michael CL Hodgson, comments on the lots up for auction: “This sale offers something for everyone; a woodland to manage, land to graze and a property to develop. We have managed this estate for many years, and now the land, barn and woodland, forming part of the estate, are being sold off.
“Gornal Ground Wood is a particularly attractive upland native woodland, having a mixture of deciduous trees, with a naturally regenerated understory of hazel, and the land at Gornal Ground is a sound parcel of agricultural grazing and undergrazed woodland.
Bridge End Barn lies on the edge of the village of Hallthwaites, and offers real potential for the purchaser to make their own wonderful country retreat.” concludes Katie.
