Widdrington Plantations is a substantial freehold woodland and grazing parcel totalling about 80.36 acres (32.52 ha) located near Morpeth. Planted with mixed native broadleaf species in 2021–22, the two recently established blocks already provide timber, amenity and sporting potential, and carry significant natural capital value. An existing England Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO) provides an immediate revenue stream that will be of interest to investors and land managers.
The land is being offered as a whole or in five lots, giving flexibility for smaller-acreage purchasers or consolidated investors. The property sits in a rural, prosperous countryside setting with expansive views across fields; wind turbines are visible in the distance. Access is via a small local road and the holding benefits from no identified flood risk and freehold tenure.
Practical considerations: mobile signal is excellent but broadband speeds are very slow — an important factor if you plan on running internet-dependent operations from site. Any change of use or built development would be subject to local planning consent; purchasers should make their own enquiries with the local authority. The rural location and recently planted woodland suit long-term forestry, conservation, grazing or recreational uses.
This is a large, flexible rural asset with immediate environmental value and ongoing EWCO payments. It will appeal to forestry investors, conservation-minded buyers and estate owners seeking to expand productive or amenity woodland holdings. The size and lotting options also make it suitable for phased acquisition or diversification into mixed rural income streams.
