An mixed farm, set in unspoilt Cheshire countryside, offering the opportunity to redevelop a property with a commanding location.
Having been held in private hands, and farmed under a long term tenancy agreement, Woodworth Green Farm now offers buyers a genuinely rare opportunity to create a new and significant rural holding on the outskirts of Bunbury.
The farm has previously been used as a mixed forage and livestock unit, suiting the clayey loams that typify the area. Whilst the conventional livestock buildings have been removed, the central farmhouse (a traditional detached brick under tile property) and the core traditional buildings remain to form the core of a new redeveloped property.
The farm is offered as a whole, or in up to four lots. The core holding, comprising Lots 1 and 2, is accessed on a private drive off Wyche Lane, a short distance from the nearby village of Bunbury which provides all the necessary local amenities.
Available alongside this is Lot 3, a pair of fields, currently used for forage production but equally suited to grazing, set adjacent to Bunbury itself. Finally, a short distance to the north lies Lot 4, a more substantial area of pasture, a short distance from the A51. It provides about 20 acres of gently sloping grazing.
Lots 1 & 2 - Woodworth Green Farm, As A Whole
In all about 92 acres (36 hectares)
The heart of the farm is the farmstead, Woodworth Green Farm. Previously a working farmyard, the house and buildings now provide the likely start of a renovation or redevelopment project which will provide the base for new owners to create a new home or business on the farm.
WOODWORTH GREEN FARMHOUSE
Currently vacant and requiring complete refurbishment, the farmhouse today stands as a substantial brick-under-tile detached dwelling, with a range of rooms spread over two floors.
YARD & BUILDINGS
A core of traditional and some more conventional buildings remain, notably a substantial brick building set to the side of the farmhouse. The buildings will require complete refurbishment in order to be repurposed or redeveloped, but sit in a central location on the holding, at the end of the private drive.
LAND
Beyond the farmstead, this lot offers a substantial area (about 89 acres) of permanent pasture, set around the yard and drive the core of land is overlooked by the farmstead and would provide the amenity and privacy a redeveloped steading would require – as well as the space for riding or grazing.
The land is laid out in good sized level enclosures between the Wyche Lane to the south and Higher Bunbury to the north.
The land is considered to be permanent pasture, having been down to grass for a number of years, but has previously been cropped with a range of arable and forage crops. The land is all classified as Grade III under the Agricultural Land Classification scale, and described as mixed loams and clayey loams, typically deep in depth, varying from light to heavy in places.
In the case of a sale in lots then accesses and reservations may be required between Lots 1 and 2.
