Land At Norley Lane - LOT 1Crowton, Northwich, Cheshire, CW8 2RX

The holding comprises an attractive and substantial block of Grade 3 agricultural land situated on the edge of the popular Cheshire villages of Crowton and Norley. The land extends to approximately 75 acres in all and benefits from access directly from the public highway.

Occupying an appealing position within the rolling Cheshire countryside, the property enjoys a peaceful rural setting whilst remaining conveniently located for the market centres of Northwich and Middlewich. The land has historically formed part of a combinable cropping enterprise and presents an opportunity to acquire a versatile and productive parcel of agricultural land in an area where opportunities of this nature rarely come to the open market.

The land extends in all to approximately 75 acres and lies to the west of Norley Lane. The property is gently undulating throughout and is bounded predominantly by mature hedgerows and established field boundaries, creating an attractive and sheltered farming unit with a strong traditional Cheshire character.

The land is classified as Grade 3 under the Agricultural Land Classification system and is described as a combination of freely draining sandy soils in the southern section and loamy and clay-based soils to the north.

The fields are generally of a good size and shape for modern farm machinery and are connected by internal field gateways, enabling efficient day-to-day management.

The land has previously supported potato production and is currently managed within a rotation including spring wheat, winter barley and temporary grass leys, demonstrating its versatility and productivity. The property offers purchasers the opportunity to continue an established arable operation, diversify into mixed farming, grassland enterprises or pursue environmental and natural capital opportunities, subject to any necessary consents.

Opportunities to acquire a contiguous block of productive agricultural land in this area are increasingly rare, and the property represents an appealing combination of accessibility, quality soils and long-term management potential.

The land is available as a whole, or in three lots.

Lot 1 - 30.72 acres (12.43 ha) comprises two good sized and workable field enclosures together with a small broadleaf coppice, creating a diverse and attractive parcel of land. The fields benefit from excellent roadside access and have been managed within an established arable and temporary grass ley rotation.
Boundaries comprise mature hedgerows together with stock fencing, providing good enclosure and definition.
