Approximately 37.28 acres (15 ha) single arable field
Lot 1 at Crowton is a single arable field of approximately 37.28 acres (15 ha) on the edge of a sought-after Cheshire village. The parcel has substantial road frontage to the B5153, good infield access, Grade 3 loamy-clayey soils and a recent history of cereals, potatoes and maize. Its size, productive classification and proximity to the mainline power network make it appealing for continued cropping, grazing or potential renewable energy uses.
The land is currently occupied under a Farm Business Tenancy which ends on 28 September 2025; holdover will be required to allow harvesting/grazing until 15 November 2025. Lot 1 has no water supply connected and a public footpath crosses the field. The site lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and has a medium flood risk in places — important operational and planning factors for farming or alternative uses.
There is potential interest for investors given the easy access, strong local amenities in nearby Northwich and the close proximity to the electricity network which may suit future solar schemes. Any prospective purchaser should note a 30% overage payable to the seller if non-agricultural planning consent (including solar) is granted within 30 years. All buyers must make their own enquiries on services, planning and environmental constraints.
Overall this Lot offers a large, immediately productive field with clear short-term cropping potential and longer-term redevelopment consideration. It will suit purchasers seeking an investment-grade agricultural holding or those exploring renewable energy opportunities, subject to the stated covenants and planning considerations.
