Lot 3 at Crowton is a compact paddock of about 5.12 acres (circa 2 ha) on the southern edge of the attractive Cheshire village of Crowton. The land is level pasture currently used for grazing with mains water connected and good road frontage from Kingsley Road. Its size and location make it immediately useful for grazing, small-scale agriculture or as a strategic holding within a larger land portfolio.
The plot sits close to the mainline power network, so there is potential interest for renewable energy schemes (noting no permissions are in place). The land is freehold and will be offered with vacant possession after the existing Farm Business Tenancy ends on 28 September 2025, subject to a holdover to allow grazing/harvest until 15 November 2025.
Buyers should note material planning and environmental constraints: the land has no current planning permission and lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone. An overage provision applies — if non-agricultural consent (including solar) is granted within the next 30 years, 30% of the uplift in value (after consent costs) is payable to the seller. There is a medium flood risk and services appear limited aside from mains water to this lot.
This lot suits purchasers seeking an affordable, well-located parcel of pasture for immediate agricultural use or long-term strategic ownership with potential for alternative uses subject to planning and the overage covenant. Investigations into planning prospects, environmental restrictions, and flood implications are advised before offer.
