Description
Sowerby Wood is a mixed commercial and amenity property located approximately 3.5 miles from Carlisle's city center, with excellent transport links and proximity to major timber processors. The property has undergone extensive felling and restocking over the last 15 years, with younger crops of Sitka and Norway spruce, and regeneration of birch. There are also areas of mature Scots pine, a charming flight pond, and native broadleaves. The property is currently well-managed by Wildwoods & Forestry and includes sporting rights, with a local volunteer group having permissive access to control grey squirrels. The sale is subject to a Clawback Agreement in favor of the seller regarding future renewable energy development, requiring the purchaser to pay 25% of income derived from such development for 20 years.
