Pits Wood comprises a parcel of amenity and conservation woodland and in all, amounting to 26.85 acres, situated within Title: NYK74046 and is located in an attractive, rural position within the North York Moors National Park, located to the southern edge of Harwood Dale and to immediate east of Breckonhurst Farm.

The subject property is situated within a ring fence block and comprises a parcel of mature, mixed deciduous woodland, which gently slopes from south to north and undulates in nature.

The land does not benefit from direct road access and is accessed via a private right of way which is accessed from the public maintained road known as Reasty Hill, which leads onto an agricultural field belonging to the adjoining Breckonhurst Farm, which provides two separate access points to the woodland to the north and south.

There are two right of access points over the adjoining Breckonhurst Farm, as marked A to B and C to D on the attached plan providing access over grassland and then leading to circa 10ft timber 5 bar gate, before leading into access ways into the woodland.

The woodland comprises a gently undulating / part steeper sloping block of amenity and conservation woodland, comprising a variety of predominantly mixed deciduous trees.

The woodland predominantly appears to comprise a mixture of Beech, Birch, Sycamore and Ash, together with some interspersed coniferous pine trees mainly to the south.

The woodland also benefits from a variety of spring flowering plants and provides an attractive amenity space.

A block of predominantly mature Beech trees to the southern boundary comprises an attractive and well-spaced / thinned compartment and offers some potential timber value.

The woodland is situated to the south of Harwood Dale, which is a small scattered rural hamlet of cottages, small holdings and farmsteads, situated within the North York Moors National Park.

Pits Wood is within Harwood Dale, located between Scarborough and Whitby, within the North York Moors National Park.

The subject property is accessed off Reasty Hill, a public maintained highway which then leads onto a third part owned parcel of agricultural grazing land, to which we understand there is a right of access to the woodland.
