Lot 3 at Throstle Nest Farm offers a substantial agricultural holding of approximately 63 acres of Grade 2 farmland with a further 7 acres of woodland and a modern steel portal-framed livestock building. The block sits north of Preston and south of Lancaster on the outskirts of Winmarleigh, suitable for continued dairy use or general livestock production. Planning for the steel portal frame building was granted in October 2015 (ref: 15/00496/FUL).
This freehold parcel benefits from good transport links, fast broadband and no identified flood risk. It is not located in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, and the mix of productive Grade 2 land and woodland gives flexibility for agriculture, coppicing or amenity uses tied to farming. The site’s scale and condition make it attractive to farming businesses, consolidation buyers or investors seeking a large rural asset.
Buyers should note the property’s rural, hamlet/isolated setting — access requires prior appointment and is managed for viewings. The land includes areas of wetland and expanses that may be seasonally waterlogged; prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves about drainage and field condition. The existing building and any previously granted planning should be confirmed with local planning authorities for current validity before relying on them for development plans.
Overall this is a rare, large-scale freehold farm opportunity with productive Grade 2 soils, woodland and an agricultural building. It will suit purchasers prepared to manage a working farm or to invest in landholding growth and rural enterprise opportunities.
