Glopa Wood is a rare block of mature mixed broadleaf woodland extending to approximately 6.78 acres, offered either as a whole or in three identifiable Lots. The gently sloping site has an easterly aspect with long-range views towards Oswestry, a diverse canopy of native mature trees and established internal tracks and rides that make the woodland easy to explore and manage. Its location is convenient — about 3 miles from Oswestry and close to the B4580/B4579 for straightforward road access.
The sale is flexible: Lot 1 (3.0 acres) at £55,000, Lot 2 (1.9 acres) at £45,000 and Lot 3 (1.9 acres) at £50,000, or the whole at a guide of £150,000 by informal tender (closing 12 noon, Friday 26th September 2025). The land is currently leasehold (999 years from 25 March 1948) with an annual rent of £45 — buyers should note and review the lease terms. There is a public footpath running along the northern boundary of Lot 1 and crossing the very top corner of the wood; this affects public access in that area and is shown on OS maps.
This woodland will suit buyers seeking amenity, conservation, low-impact recreation or as a long-term natural asset. There are no buildings or guaranteed services on the site; prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves about utilities and any practical uses. Boundaries are defined on the ground by stockproof fencing, but purchasers are deemed to have full knowledge of boundaries and responsibility for checking ownership lines.
Viewings are permitted but visitors are asked to notify the selling agent beforehand. The terrain and understorey can be uneven and potentially treacherous in places — anyone visiting should take appropriate care. The vendor reserves the right not to accept the highest or any offer.
