A verdant haven of mixed age broadleaves with good access. Available as a whole or in up to 3 lots.

Artamford lies just to the east of New Deer, a small attractive granite village in the rich farming area known as the Howe of Buchan. Aberdeen is 30 miles to the south. Fraserburgh and Peterhead are both about a 25-minute drive to the north and east respectively.

The wood occupies level ground and is variously surrounded by fields and other woodland. There is excellent access into the wood from the public road via a well-found tarmac drive. This connects to a stoned track giving year-round 2WD access to all lots.

Stand-alone broadleaved woods are rare in this part of the country. As such Artamford presents an opportunity to secure an evolving woodland of great charm and undoubted amenity.

Lots 1 and 2 are composed of a mix of planted and regenerated broadleaves dominated by birch and rowan among which you will also find the occasional alder and conifer along with some woody shrubs including hawthorn, elder and broom.

Lot 3 is a mix of mature broadleaves dominated by sycamore and beech.

If sold separately, access will be granted to lots 2 and 3 via the track in lot 1. Please note that the vendor may require lot 3 to sell in advance of lots 1 and 2. Please speak to the agent if this affects your decision to purchase.

Alastair says...

"I would cut a few meandering paths through the younger woodlands to enhance internal access and then remove the tree tubes as the emerging stems swell. 

There are a few fallen stems in the mature stands which would provide an abundant supply of firewood as well as providing gaps for restocking with a range of bird-friendly trees and shrubs.

Finally, I’d want to create a small clearing for quiet recreation – woodland camping and BBQs certainly appeal."
