A ‘rare opportunity’ to buy a plot of woodland on the edge of the Lake District has been advertised.

The mature, native woodland is situated on an east-facing limestone escarpment between Lindale and Grange.

(Image: Rightmove) (Image: Rightmove) Extending 12.66 acres, the site has been designated as Ancient Semi-Natural Woodland (ASNW) and is home to a variety of broadleaf species including Oak, Ash, Yew, Beech, Sycamore, Downy Birch and Hazel.

The listing said: “This delightful woodland offers a variety of habitats and a wealth of flora and fauna, including bluebells and woodland bird species.

“The woodland rises from the roadside to offer views of the surrounding countryside and across to Morecambe Bay.”

The structure was carefully stabilised and restored by the current owners in 2018.

“A woodland management plan has been in place over recent years and the woodland has been actively managed to boost biodiversity, including thinning and coppicing of hazel.”

A public footpath passes through the woodland and the site benefits from roadside access.
