Land For Sale £26,150
High Stenries Wood extends to about 15.7 acres in total. It is populated with 75% fairly mature Silver Birch and a stand of Spruce at the east end, creating a diverse habitat for local wildlife.
There is a burn along the south edge and technically speaking this is the south boundary but a new deer fence has been erected well to the south of the burn by the neighbours to the south. The woodland would be well suited to holiday log houses or pods, subject to securing planning consent.

Services
The nearest services are at High Stenries Farm located 413 metres to the north.
Planning
Small pods do not need planning consent. At there is an illustration of an off-grid pod costing £5000. Cheaper pods are available from Latvia or made by local joiners. Planning consent would likely be secured for multiple log houses where the owners live in one and, eg, guests stay in three others.
Access
G – H – I – J – K right of access through High Stenries Farm.
There is a good road G - H but H – I – J needs to be built. This 344 metres will cost about £12,900. There is an existing track J - K to the ford.
The sellers are securing a legal opinion from a top agricultural law advocate which we believe will confirm their existing legal opinion that the owners of High Stenries Farm (a) will not be allowed to grub up the proposed new type 1 farm track G – H – I – J – K – L – M which the sellers of the land intend to rebuild to serve the land and (b) will have to pay the sellers for rebuilding the road as it was there before, albeit in a poor condition.
The purchaser of High Stenries Wood will have a legal obligation to maintain the High Stenries Farm access road and the track down to the wood on a ‘user basis’.
The sellers have in their 1992 title deeds a formal legal right of access and it states: ‘freeish and entry by all existing roads and all servitude rights of way down the route’ as shown in the sale particulars.
