A portfolio of woodland extending in all to approximately 188 acres (76 hectares) split into compartments of varying sizes situated throughout the Estate and managed in accordance with a woodland management plan.

LOT 5 – Estate woodland, pasture and game cover extending to 188.08 acres (76.11 ha)

The Estate Woodland extend to approximately 188 acres (76 ha) and is split into compartments of varying sizes situated throughout the Estate.

An overarching Woodland Management Plan (WMP) informs the long-term management objectives being to enhance the sporting, conservation and amenity benefits of the woodlands coupled with management along commercial lines.

The woodland compartments include mixed broadleaves (oak, silver birch, poplar, sessile oak) and mixed conifer plantations (Scots Pine).

The current Woodland Management Plan is due to expire on 15th April 2025 thereby providing a purchaser with an excellent opportunity to shape the future management of the Estate Woodland through the commissioning of a new 10-year plan. Initial discussions with the Estates forestry consultants have indicated that the Estate Woodland would be well-placed to be supported by the current grant scheme regime. In addition to the day-to-day management of thinning, restocking and felling, a specific area of focus would include the maintenance of young compartments to create a conducive environment for the trees to establish.

Two further parcels of land are let to the sporting tenant by virtue of licence agreements. These include a parcel of grassland at the bottom of Cayton Gill and following Cayton Beck, extending to approximately 10.98 acres (4.4ha), and a parcel of arable land extending to approximately 6.55 acres (2.7 ha) at the top of Cayton Gill, used for game cover.

The sporting rights over the Estate Woodland are reserved from the sale.

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.

To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.

Some advantages of a broker are:

They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
