Approximately 32.61 acres of level arable land
Lot 5 is a substantial block of productive arable land totaling about 32.61 acres on the edge of Crowton, a rural Cheshire hamlet 5.5 miles from Northwich. The fields are generally level with good road frontage and infield access, classed as Grade 3 soils that have supported cereals, maize and potatoes — offering immediate value to active farmers or investors seeking reliable cropping ground.
The site sits close to the mainline power network and is identified as having potential for renewable energy schemes such as solar. That potential may attract developers or investors looking for alternative income streams, but any non-agricultural uplift will trigger a 30% overage payable to the seller for 30 years.
Practical considerations are important: the land is currently let under a Farm Business Tenancy which terminates on 28 September 2025, with holdover required to allow harvesting/grazing until 15 November 2025. Services to the lot are limited (no general services identified on site) and the land lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. There is a medium flood risk and public rights (including footpaths and other easements) affect the holding.
This lot suits agricultural occupiers, investors seeking scale in a well-connected rural location, or parties exploring renewable schemes. Prospective purchasers should undertake their own due diligence on services, planning potential, flood risk and the NVZ designation before bidding.
