Large 74-acre agricultural parcel with carbon credit and BNG potential.
74 acres of Grade 2 agricultural land
Lot 4 at Throstle Nest Farm is a substantial 74-acre parcel of Grade 2 agricultural land situated between Preston and Lancaster, on the outskirts of Winmarleigh. The site is currently in dairy use on heavy lower clay soils and offers clear suitability for livestock production and other agricultural enterprises. Its size and soil quality are the main value drivers for farmers and land investors.
There is measurable potential for carbon credit schemes and off-site Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG), presenting an additional income stream for buyers able to manage environmental service contracts. Transport links are described as good, and the plot sits in an affluent, rural area with fast broadband and average mobile signal — helpful for remote management or precision farming.
Important considerations: the property’s tenure is recorded as unknown and any development or change of use would be subject to planning permission; development potential is not guaranteed. The land is Grade 2 and in agricultural classification, so purchasers should confirm any restrictions, subsidy entitlements, and statutory responsibilities. Viewing and technical due diligence are recommended to confirm boundaries, soil condition, and contractual possibilities for carbon/BNG schemes.
