About this property

  • Land at Malpas

    Summary

    The bulk of the land is situated in the rolling South Cheshire countryside, with one lot just over the border in the county of Wrexham. The owners have carefully managed the land to protect and enhance its natural features, alongside improving it's productive capacity.

    The result is an excellent network of workable enclosures, suitable for grazing, conservation or cropping. The land, comprising a mix of Grade 2 and Grade 3 land, is bordered by an impressive network of mature hedges, well-established trees and woodland.

    The area has a long tradition of productive dairy farming, which continues to be core to the land use today. The land would be ideally suited to a variety of enterprises, or alternatively presents an attractive investment opportunity.

    The land includes a large area of mature woodland within Lot 3, part of which contains a Scheduled Ancient Monument and SSSI.
