Lot 4 at Crowton offers a substantial block of productive arable and pasture land extending to about 62.37 acres (25 ha) on the edge of a quiet Cheshire hamlet. The soils are Grade 3 loamy/clayey, historically cropped with cereals, maize and potatoes, and around 50 acres have recently been included in arable rotation. There is good infield access, substantial road frontage and water is connected to Lot 4.
The land is sold freehold with vacant possession on completion; the current Farm Business Tenancy terminates on 28 September 2025, although holdover is required to permit harvesting/grazing until 15 November 2025. Its location close to the mainline power network means there may be potential for renewable energy development (not guaranteed) and the land sits within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone—buyers should satisfy themselves on planning and environmental constraints.
Notable commercial considerations: the site has medium flood risk in places, very slow broadband and average mobile signal, and the sale includes an overage provision — 30% of any uplift in value if non-agricultural consent (including solar) is granted within 30 years. These factors affect development potential and operating costs and should be factored into any bid.
This lot will suit agricultural occupiers, investors seeking an income-producing block or purchasers exploring long-term renewable energy opportunities. Prospective buyers are advised to carry out their own due diligence on soils, drainage, planning, environmental designations and access rights before submitting offers.
