Description: At the end of a long private road there lies a classic Derbyshire woodland, High Wood. In spring bluebells abound, at other times heavy leaf cover from the oak, birch, sycamore and lime shade the woodland floor while in winter the holly provides privacy and shelter.
Rocky outcrops on the sloping site give plenty of scope for exploring and playing and add yet another type of habitat to this ancient woodland. Yet another feature are the extensive views across the valley below from openings in the boundary trees. The surrounding area of open farmland is protected as green belt.
Covenant: The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining house and land.
Access: from the public highway there is a private road up to a field gate then a track across 2 meadows to the wood's entrance. The way across the 2 meadows can be made up and surfaced with tarmac if the purchaser wishes, the cost for this would be in the region of £8,000. Shown dashed green on the wood map.
Holbrook a pretty Derbshire village is nearby and has various facilities including the well-known Dead Poets Inn.
