Description

Glopa Wood is a rare opportunity to acquire approximately 1.9 acres of mixed woodland just outside of Oswestry.

Roger Parry & Partners are delighted to bring to the market this useful block of woodland extending to approximately 1.9 acres.

Glopa Wood is a gently sloping woodland with an easterly aspect, offering impressive views towards Oswestry. The land features a diverse canopy of native mature trees and well-established tracks, making it ideal for nature walks, wildlife observation or quiet retreat.

Boundaries around the whole are defined with stockproof fencing, including post and rail with pig netting. The individual Lots can be identified by pathways splitting them up. The woodland is peaceful and private, yet easily accessible, making it a unique offering in the local market.

Location - The woodland is conveniently located approximately 3 miles from Oswestry. It benefits from excellent road connections, situated 1 mile from the B4580 and 1 mile of the B4579, providing straightforward access to Oswestry, Shrewsbury, Chester, and beyond.

Lots - Lot 1: 3 acres - £45,000
Lot 2: 1.9 acres - £35,000
Lot 3 1.9 acres - £35,000
