Summary - DOVE SYKE NURSERY, EAVES HALL LANE BB7 3JG
1 bed 1 bath Commercial Property
Established forest school and large Christmas tree plantation with expansion potential.
Approx. 22.63 acres freehold woodland and plantation
This freehold rural holding spans approximately 22.63 acres of planted woodland and operational buildings, combining a successful Ofsted-registered forest school with an established Christmas tree plantation. The site already generates activity and income from outdoor education and tree sales, making it attractive to private operators, education groups, or investors seeking a diversified rural enterprise.
On-site assets include purpose-built forest school accommodation (classroom, office, kitchen, toilets, staff space), a machinery barn, ancillary outbuildings, parking and a private access track. The plantation is densely stocked—an estimated c.30,000 trees including large commercial specimens—providing an immediate and scalable crop. The land’s long, linear layout and high degree of seclusion offer clear scope for continued commercial use, expansion of outdoor learning programs, or alternative redevelopment subject to planning consent.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. Built footprint is modest relative to the acreage; maintenance of plantation rows, tracks and buildings will be ongoing. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect modern administrative requirements and marketing. Any redevelopment, change of use or expansion will require appropriate planning permissions and due diligence on operational records; accounts and business information are available on request.
Overall, this is a rare, established rural enterprise offering immediate trading activity, large tree stocks and substantial landholding. It suits buyers looking for an income-generating countryside business, an education operator seeking outdoor provision, or an investor with appetite for rural diversification and potential future value uplift.
