Substantial productive acreage with irrigation licence close to Alderley Edge.
About 92.68 acres (37.5 ha) of productive Grade 3 arable and pasture
This unusually large block of productive Grade 3 land extends to about 92.68 acres (37.5 ha) on the fringe of Nether Alderley, offering a versatile holding for arable, forage, or grazing. The soil is loam and clayey loam, suitable for a mixed rotation; the parcel is level with good internal access and direct highway entry for easy machinery movement. An existing abstraction licence (6,955m3/year from Pedley Brook) is included, supporting irrigation and cropping flexibility.
The setting is quietly rural yet well connected: Alderley Edge and Wilmslow are within a short drive, with excellent rail links to Manchester and London and Manchester Airport nearby. The location benefits from low crime, affluent surroundings, and proximity to highly ranked independent and state schools, making it attractive to purchasers seeking a countryside asset with lifestyle access to local amenities.
There is residential development potential suggested by the site’s discreet, elevated fringe position, but no planning permission is guaranteed. Prospective buyers should assume any residential or significant change of use will require formal planning consent and consultation with the local authority. The land is offered freehold with agricultural capability rather than a consented residential scheme.
Practical considerations: the farm has EPC rating D, underfloor heating and LPG noted for the dwelling element, and double glazing fitted post-2002 where present. Broadband speeds are very slow across the holding; mobile signal is excellent. Buyers should allow for management and maintenance of a large-scale agricultural enterprise and confirm any specific building, drainage, or environmental obligations with Cheshire East Council.
