Rare opportunity to purchase 1.57 acres of mature woodland with timber forestry building

Known as Stans Wood this freehold parcel of mature woodland extends to around 1.57 acre (stms). It forms part of Riddlesworth woods and is located in an ideallic position well away from the nearest road. It includes a newly constructed 288 sq/ft forestry cabin building which measures around 12ft wide by 24 ft long. The boundary is marked by wooden posts with blue tips.

The wood is located around six miles east of Thetford on the Norfolk / Suffolk border. It is accessed via a track off Knettishall Road. There is vehicular access via a metal gate which gives a right of way over a private track which leads to the site which adjoins an open field where there is ample off road parking.

Planning
Prior approval was not required for erection of a timber-framed forestry building meaning that Breckland Council determined that the development complies with permitted development rules and could proceed without needing formal planning permission or further detailed approval.
