Sisters Wood, Welsh Way, Cirencester, Gloucestershire, GL7
- Land size
- 49.54 acres
Description
Nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds National Landscape (formerly known as an AONB), just two miles north-east of Cirencester in the Gloucestershire countryside, Sisters Wood
presents a rare and exciting opportunity for prospective purchasers.
Extending to approximately 49.54 acres, the property is accessed predominantly via a private gated entrance from the Welsh Way. The land is primarily level topography, with soils principally comprising chalk and limestone, characteristic of this highly sought-after Cotswold landscape.
Sisters Wood represents an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking amenity land, conservation and biodiversity interests, recreational use, or a long-term strategic rural investment.
Sisters Wood is a mixed woodland with a central ride running north to south. The wood was planted in the early 1800s by the two Master sisters who lived in the Abbey House in Cirencester. Beech is the predominant broadleaf species alongside oak, ash, western red cedar, birch and holly. At the southern end of the wood is a fine stand of Douglas Fir. A row of 200-year-old yews run alongside the main ride which was laid down for horse and carriage access when planted.
