A 2.8-acre area of Sheffield woodland, popular with walkers and linking the city to the Peak District, is to go under the hammer next week with a guide price of £15,000.
The mature broadleaf woodland, in Hagg Wood off the A57 Manchester Road, was originally part of the of Burnt Stones Hall estate and is situated on the southern side of the picturesque Rivelin Valley. It will feature among over 90 lots in property auctioneer Mark Jenkinson’s online sale on 8 November.
Adrian Little from Mark Jenkinson said: “This is an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire almost three acres of mature deciduous woodland, on the north-western fringes of Sheffield.
“We’ve had interest in the land from potential buyers with leisure and nature interests, however there could also be an opportunity for a business to manage and improve the woods as a carbon offsetting programme.”
The land up for auction lies between residential property in Sheffield’s Sandygate area and backs onto Coppice Road.
Next month’s Mark Jenkinson auction, which includes the woodland, has new lots added daily and will be held on 8 November here.

Over the last 40 years Adrian has been involved in the sale by auction of over 10,000 properties in the Yorkshire and Humber region, ranging from small sites and ground rents to large industrial estates and residential investments. He has been most fortunate to have sold many landmark buildings throughout the region and is particularly interested in properties that require modernisation, restoration or redevelopment.
Having spent many hours on the rostrum at Bramall Lane, he saw the incredibly successful transition to online auctions seeing some £100m of residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial lots being sold for private, corporate and local authority clients. In March 2023, he joined Eddisons and Pugh & Co to forward this success and continue to offer personal service with a larger national presence .
