A substantial block of productive Grade 3 farmland extending to 38.82 acres (15.70 ha) with roadside frontage to Byley Lane. The parcel is practical for combinable crops, grazing, mowing or equestrian use and is currently cropped with maize and grass. Soils are described as naturally wet, very acid sandy and loamy — suited to a range of agricultural uses but requiring appropriate crop choice or drainage management.
The sale is freehold and offered as a whole, with mature hedged boundaries and good access. Mains water is currently connected but will be terminated on completion; prospective buyers should budget for any new service connections. The land sits inside a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and benefits from a Countryside Stewardship Mid‑Tier agreement running until 31 December 2026.
Important legal constraints: the land is subject to a 10‑year Option Agreement in favour of Keuper Gas Storage Limited (expires 2032). The buyer will need to become party to that Option Agreement and sign a Deed of Covenant. The site is also sold with a 25% development clawback on any uplift in value if residential planning permission is granted within 25 years. The roadside field is let under a cropping licence until harvest; access arrangements are in place if completion precedes harvest.
This holding will suit arable or livestock farmers seeking productive Cheshire acreage, equestrian enterprises needing a large paddock block, or investors looking for a strategic land asset — provided they accept the existing option and clawback conditions.
