Lowscales Bank Woodland is an established 9.17-hectare (22.66-acre) replanted plantation of mixed conifers and broadleaves, roughly 15 years old. Located above Po-House Road in Whicham Valley within the Lake District National Park, the site offers seclusion, strong natural character and wide views across the surrounding open hill ground. It is a straightforward opportunity for someone wanting to manage a productive woodland or to steer the stand toward a more natural broadleaf mix.
The wood is well stocked and will benefit from thinning and routine management; there is clear scope for timber production, conservation planting or habitat improvement. Stone boundary walls largely define the site; a deer fence was used when establishing the trees but that fence is now in poor repair and will need replacement or substantial repair to prevent browsing. There is no formal vehicular access across the western track and usual access is on foot via a path above the stone wall or via a public footpath across open access land to the north-east. Parking is possible about 200m east of the boundary.
Practical points for buyers: the vendor confirms no recent grants or felling licences since replanting, though a range of woodland grant schemes may be available to support management plans, thinning, access improvement and boundary works. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow while mobile signal is excellent. The site sits in a remote, low-crime and deprived local area classification, so expect limited local services but strong tranquillity and privacy.
This plot will suit a small-scale investor, experienced woodland manager or conservation-minded buyer who accepts the access limitations and immediate management tasks (thinning, deer-fencing repairs and boundary maintenance). It is offered with vacant possession on completion and believed to include sporting rights.
