Snouts Farm is an exciting package which includes approved land for woodland creation alongside existing woodland and pastureland.
Situated less than 15 minutes’ drive south from the Scottish
border, Snouts Farm is an exciting package which includes land
approved for woodland creation alongside existing woodland and
pastureland.
xx
Approximately two-thirds of the land, some 25 ha, has been
approved for planting under the England Woodland Creation
Offer with the vendor awaiting issue of the contract. The
proposed scheme has a predominantly commercial focus and
features Sitka spruce (64%) alongside native broadleaves
(11.5%), mixed conifers (2.5%) and open ground (22%), all
designed to sensibly incorporate the existing woodland. The
native broadleaves include oak, silver birch, alder, hornbeam and
aspen. A copy of the proposed planting scheme can be provided
on request.
xx
The remaining land not included within the scheme comprises a
strip of land at the centre of the farm, which we understand could
be planted in the future thereby offering the opportunity for a
purchaser to design their own scheme, as well as two fields in the
south-eastern corner which cannot be planted but are suitable
for the grazing of livestock.
xx
The soils are fertile and described as slowly permeable wet
upland soils. Elevation across the farm ranges from 115 to 195
metres above sea level.
xx
Access to the farm can be taken via points X or Y as shown on the
sale plan.
xx
Woodland ownership offers several tax benefits including
Business Property Relief from Inheritance Tax where the
woodland has been managed commercially and owned for two
years; exemption from Income and Corporation Tax on income
generated from the sale of timber from a commercial woodland;
and exemption from Capital Gains Tax on the value of the
growing timber crop where the woodland has been managed as a
commercial asset.
