This expansive 55-acre property presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and investment, with a mix of productive Grade 2 and 3 land located on the northern edge of Nantwich. Accessible via the B5431 Chester Road, the parcel boasts multiple double gateways that facilitate easy entry for modern agricultural machinery, enhancing its functionality for farming, equestrian pursuits, or amenity development.
Lot 1 encompasses approximately 50.58 acres of well-structured agricultural land, comprising a balance of 17 acres dedicated to arable crops and 33 acres utilized for grazing. Currently, part of this land is under maize cultivation, indicating its capability to support diverse arable rotations. The remaining grassland offers potential for fodder production or could serve as pastureland. The soil quality—primarily Grade 3 with some Grade 2—features slightly acid loamy and clayey properties ideal for both grassland maintenance and various crops.
In addition to its agricultural potential, the property is also noteworthy due to a public footpath that crosses Lot 1, linking directly to the Shropshire Union Canal towpath—an attraction that adds recreational value to the location. Moreover, Lot 2 comprises roughly 4.09 acres adjacent to Lot 1, currently employed for grazing but with potential alternate uses appealing to equestrians or those interested in developing amenity spaces (pending necessary planning permissions).
Situated just under a mile from Nantwich town center and approximately ten miles from the M6 motorway, this property not only offers convenient access to regional transport links but also enjoys a picturesque countryside setting that enhances its investment appeal. Given its edge-of-town location combined with existing agricultural usage and future development possibilities, this property represents a multifaceted investment opportunity deserving of consideration by savvy buyers seeking long-term growth.
The property is offered freehold with an established mains water supply connected to Lot 1 while maintaining rights of way and other utilities on-site. Notably, it lies within a Registered Battlefield area (Historic England) and will include any sporting, timber, or mineral rights owned by the seller at the time of sale. There's also a clawback provision attached regarding future development value lasting up to 40 years.
Overall, whether one aims for continued agricultural use or has aspirations towards alternative developments in line with local planning policies, this property's unique blend of features offers considerable potential for transformation and growth in value over time.
