Extensive 35-acre village holding with lake, copse and arable potential.
35.09 acres available whole or in three lots
A rare 35.09-acre block of productive agricultural land set within Betley village conservation area, offered as a whole or in three lots. The holding comprises pasture previously used for combinable crops, making it suitable for grazing, cropping, mowing or equestrian enterprise. Lot 2 includes a stream, copse and a stocked lake that add ecological and amenity value; Lot 1 has a mains-fed water trough and proven arable capability. Mobile signal is excellent and the site sits in a very low-crime, affluent rural community.
This land will suit farmers, equestrian users or investors seeking a substantial countryside holding near local services and a primary school. Access is practical via tracks and a fenced green lane; a public footpath runs along part of the eastern boundary. There are informal rights and arrangements on parts of the holding (a local football team uses part of Lot 3 by mutual agreement; Consep House has a rights-of-way across Lot 3).
Material restrictions and reservations affect the sale: the vendor reserves a borehole right feeding Betley Court Farm, and there is a septic tank and neighbouring service points across the land. Importantly, the land is sold subject to a 30-year development clawback—if planning consent is granted for any non-agricultural/equestrian use within 30 years, the sellers or heirs are entitled to 35% of the increase in value. Betley’s conservation-area status will also influence what will be achievable.
Prospective buyers should note slow broadband speeds and an unknown tenure position that will require clarification. The parcel presents clear agricultural and amenity strengths but comes with ecological features, existing access arrangements and legal caveats that should be reviewed before purchase.
