Lot 1 at Knutsford Road is a substantial block of productive Grade 3 farmland extending to 44.25 acres (17.90 ha). Currently largely in maize with some permanent grass, the land is well fenced and benefits from mains water to the lot, mature hedgerow boundaries, a small copse and a southern frontage onto the River Dane—features that support biodiversity and provide natural shelter for livestock.
This block is well suited to continued arable cropping, combinable crops, mowing or grazing and offers potential for equestrian or amenity use. Road frontage on the A50 with an internal track gives practical access, and the rural setting within a prosperous Cranage landscape makes it an attractive holding for an active farmer or investor seeking increased scale.
There are important restrictions and practical matters to note: the land lies within a DEFRA Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, a gas pipeline and a sewerage pipe cross Lot 1, and several public footpaths traverse the property. The sale is subject to a 25-year development clawback (25% of any uplift if planning permission is granted for non-agricultural/equestrian uses). The land also falls inside the Jodrell Bank Consultation Zone which may limit certain developments.
Practical completion will be after the maize harvest; the land is currently let on a farm business tenancy terminating September 2025 and the purchaser of Lot 1 (if Lots sold separately) must install stock-proof fencing between the two Lots within six weeks of completion. Buyers should verify services and any wayleaves or easements as listed in the sales particulars.
