Thorntonhall Woodland comprises a mixed species woodland formerly part of the historic Birkwood House Estate. The woodland extends to about 6.87 acres. The majority of the land at Thorntonhall appears to have been planted approximately 100 years ago. The majority of the planting being amenity broadleaved woodland currently comprising Sycamore, Beech, Oak, and Scots Pine species. The wood benefits from being nearby to the public road network and the site is positioned adjacent to both Peel Road and Waterfoot Road, with remaining boundaries comprising agricultural grazing land. The woodland lies between approximately between 142.8 metres and 156.8 metres above sea level. According to the James Hutton Institute the land is primarily classed as Grade F2 (F2 Land with very good flexibility for the growth and management of tree crops). There is a redundant Lime Kiln on site which was built in 1790. The woodland also provides nesting sights and shelter for birds and other wildlife. It is important to note areas of the woodland have been subject to windblow and for the avoidance of doubt we would recommend these be cleared to limit associated risks.Thorntonhall Woodland is offered for sale as a whole.Flood maps of the area can be viewed at https://map.sepa.org.uk/floodmaps/FloodRisk/SearchSome parts of the woodland have a 10% chance of surface water flooding each year.From Glasgow travel south onto the M77 before exiting at junction 3 signed to Paisley.
