DESCRIPTION / BACKGROUND

Pioneer Wood comprises an attractive parcel of amenity land extending in all to approximately 13.03 acres, situated to the south of Scawton within the North York Moors National Park. The land is accessed directly from the A170 and benefits from good road frontage with benefit of secondary access off Greenlane track.

Historically the land at Pioneer Wood has been intensively farmed until the recent planting of native woodland and shrubs which will create a significant environmental uplift, particularly when the woodland matures. This will create an excellent habitat for birds, mammals, insects, flora and fauna. 

There are mown grass tracks through the land, and the property enjoys an elevated position with attractive views over the surrounding countryside. There is a disused quarry situated to the south-east of the land.

The land is suitable for amenity, conservation, wildlife and recreational purposes, subject to any necessary consents. The land may also offer future timber opportunities, particularly firewood when thinnings are taken.

The land is likely to be of interest to lifestyle buyers, conservation purchasers, neighbouring landowners, smallholders and those seeking a private parcel of land in an accessible National Park location.
