Morben Wood offers the potential for restoring an old traditional stone building wrapped up within a  woodland that is capable of providing timber for the restoration as well as fuel for any heating that is required inside the building.
Morben Wood is a very unusual offering situated as it is on the
very edge of the Snowdonia National Park. Within a short
distance of the wood are all the amenities of the National Park
with wonderful walks in abundance, Bike Park Wales just a few
miles away and a huge choice of forest trails in Natural Resources
Wales’ (NRW) woodlands.
xx
The woodland is accessed via two locations shown on the sale
plan at points A and B. Point B is the main access into the lower
section of the wood close to the old quarry building. From here a
track runs up past the old building and into the quarry. This track
also connects to the southern half of the wood via a steep but
walkable trackway. Point A is a gateway through an ancient
stone wall on neighbouring land that gives access to the upper
section of the wood.
xx
Conveniently located in the lower section of the wood is the ruin
of what was probably once a quarry office building. Roof timbers
are still visible on the walls and this building could be repaired
subject to planning consent.
xx
The wood is stocked with a fine selection of mature beech trees.
There is also some areas of mature conifers that will add winter
colour and interest to the wood. These have been thinned and
will provide a continuous supply of timber and firewood should a
new owner wish. Roadside trees have been professionally
surveyed in the last year and the required remedial work
undertaken. A copy of the survey can be made available upon
request. An operation to make safe a storm damaged beech tree
is also in hand and will be completed prior to sale.
xx
The wood also contains a small ex-slate mining quarry. Extra care
must be taken when walking the property.
xx
Part of the woodland is designated as Ancient and Semi Natural
Woodland (ASNW) indicating the land has had trees growing
continuously since before 1600 AD. This designation often
creates opportunities for a woodland owner to secure enhanced
funding to restore such a wood.
