Greatbarrock Wood offers 40.65 acres of elevated Cumbrian woodland recently clear-felled and ready for a new planting plan. Sitting above the Eden Valley with direct private track access and only a short distance from the A6, the site is well placed for long-term forestry investment or alternative low-intensity uses, subject to planning and consents.
The majority of the former planting was larch and the vendor has previously received confirmation of a restocking grant of £68,393; that specific award is not transferable but a purchaser could reapply for similar funding. The ground slopes from about 220m to 140m and includes areas of steeper terrain; care is needed when visiting and the woodland has limited existing infrastructure and no known service connections.
There is scope to re-establish commercial woodland, create mixed native planting, or explore diversification such as recreation or low-impact leisure uses (for example mountain bike trails), subject to permissions. A communication mast sits on adjacent third-party land and mobile signal is excellent, though on-site broadband speeds are reported very slow.
This is a straightforward freehold purchase with vacant possession, included sporting and mineral rights insofar as owned, and existing easements and wayleaves. It will suit a purchaser seeking a sizeable countryside holding for forestry, environmental planting, or long-term land investment, who accepts the need for onward management, potential restocking costs and the practicalities of a largely undeveloped, remote site.
