Large AONB parcel suited to agriculture, conservation or amenity projects.
Approximately 67.4 acres of pasture and mixed woodland
Lot 1 at Woodlands Farm is a substantial freehold parcel of pasture and woodland extending to about 67.4 acres on the western edge of the Mendip Hills AONB. The site has direct road access, mains water supply (buyer to install sub meter) and vacant possession, making it immediately usable for agriculture, conservation or amenity projects. Good regional links include the M5 (J22) six miles away and Bristol around 20 miles to the north.
A significant portion of the woodland previously suffered ash dieback and has been professionally cleared. Remaining areas require a replanting programme (oak, hornbeam, birch and mixed broadleaves) which must be completed by 30 June 2032; this creates an opportunity to apply for government planting grants but also represents a legal and financial obligation for the purchaser. Two small areas to the north and west lie within the Shiplate Slait SSSI and may impose additional environmental constraints on certain activities.
This land will suit buyers seeking long-term agricultural income, conservation or recreational amenity use who can manage the replanting and any SSSI-related restrictions. Its AONB location and seclusion provide landscape value, while the large plot size offers flexibility for habitat restoration, pasture rotation or sympathetic woodland management. Buyers should factor in replanting costs, possible grant timelines, sub-meter installation and any ecological planning requirements.
