A substantial block of productive arable land of approximately 3.84 hectares (9.5 acres) set on the edge of Lydiate. The parcel is Grade 1 agricultural land, currently in arable cropping and accessed from Bells Lane with good road links to the A59 (about three minutes). Boundaries are defined by hedges and trees, and the site sits in an affluent, low-crime area with fast broadband and strong mobile signal—useful for remote monitoring or small rural enterprises.
This plot will suit active farmers or investors seeking high-quality agricultural ground, long-term holding, or potential future change-of-use possibilities. Important planning limitations apply: the land is designated Green Belt under Sefton Council’s Local Plan (policy MN7), which will heavily restrict most development forms. A cropping licence runs until 31 March 2026, giving vacant possession after that date.
The sale is offered by informal tender with a fixed deadline. Note the sale is subject to Overage and Clawback provisions for 25 years: if planning consent for non-agricultural use is obtained, 25% of the uplift between base and enhanced values will be payable to the vendors or successors. Precise legal terms will be set by the vendor’s solicitor—buyers should review these carefully and factor them into any valuation or offer.
Practical matters: the existing access runs to neighbouring land and may require widening to improve vehicular entry. There are standard rights of way, easements and wayleaves affecting the land. Viewings are permitted on foot in daylight hours but please avoid damaging crops. Prospective purchasers should undertake due diligence on planning prospects, the Overage wording, and any access improvements before tendering.
