Productive 20-acre Grade 3 parcel with mains services and solar, sold offers over £160,000.
Approximately 8.22 hectares (20.31 acres) of Grade 3 agricultural land
Lot 2 at Allerby Mill Farm offers an easily accessed 8.22-hectare (20.31-acre) parcel of predominantly Grade 3 agricultural land. Positioned off the A596, the plot is suited to arable or grassland production and benefits from mains water, mains electricity and existing solar panels on the agricultural roof — practical assets for continued farming or diversified income.
Boundaries are well maintained with a mix of recently erected post-and-wire fences and hedgerows. The land currently sits within a Mid‑Tier environmental stewardship scheme (expires 31 Dec 2027) and benefits from Superfast broadband, supporting modern farm management. The landscape is typical rolling pasture and open fields with good roadside access from the public highway.
Important commercial points and buyer responsibilities are clear: the seller will retain delinked Basic Payment Scheme payments, any growing crops and silage on completion must be purchased by the buyer, and the SFI agreement may not be transferable. United Utilities works at nearby Bullgill treatment works have a temporary compound within Lot 1 (further details available on request).
The farmhouse on the wider holding is a small detached property (1 bed, 1 bath) with EPC rating E, oil‑fired boiler and older double glazing; it may need updating. There is a medium flood risk for the area and mineral rights are excluded where owned by a third party, so purchasers should satisfy themselves on all rights, easements and on‑site service condition before offer.
