A rare, large-scale agricultural holding extending to approximately 183.27 acres (74 ha) on the edge of Crowton, near Northwich and Chester. The block is predominantly level arable and pasture with good road frontage, infield access and Grade 3 loamy-clay soils suited to cereals, potatoes and maize. Historically cropped in mixed rotations, the land is productive and readily workable.
The sale offers flexible options: the whole or in up to six lots, with vacant possession available after the current Farm Business Tenancy (FBT) ends on 28 September 2025 (holdover to allow harvest/grazing until 15 November 2025). Several parcels already have mains water connected (Lots 2, 3 and 4); Lot 1 has no water supply. A public footpath crosses Lot 1 and established rights of way and wayleaves apply across the property.
This holding may interest commercial farmers, land investors or developers exploring renewable energy opportunities. Proximity to the mainline power network means possible solar development potential, though any change of use would be subject to planning and a 30% overage on uplift in value for 30 years. Note the land lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and has a medium flood risk; purchasers should factor environmental constraints and slower broadband when considering non-agricultural uses.
Offers are invited by midday on Wednesday 3 September 2025. Buyers should carry out their own enquiries into services, planning and any restrictions before offer. The sale is freehold; further detail on wayleaves, easements and other rights should be reviewed as part of legal due diligence.
