Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Overview
Strutt & Parker have been instructed by Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council to offer by freehold sale or long leasehold a portfolio of farms and land located in the north west of the county.

The portfolio comprises four distinct holdings which include two equipped farms and two blocks of bare land which are available in lots, combinations of lots or as a whole portfolio.

Description
In all, the portfolio extends to approximately 672.03 acres (271 ha) including two equipped farms and a range of agricultural land. The two farmhouses and neighbouring farm buildings all require investment and renovation to bring them up to modern standards. A selection of farm buildings, particularly those of traditional brick construction, have been identified as suitable for conversion for alternative uses although no enquiries have been made with the planning department at the Local Authority.

As a whole, the portfolio offers opportunities to generate income, extract value through the development of certain areas (subject to planning permission) and promote the land for natural capital uses. This could be through making use of existing grant funding and stewardship schemes as well as investigating the land’s use for woodland creation, biodiversity net gain and carbon offsetting.

The farms were previously let on long term tenancies and are now farmed on short term arrangements with vacant possession due no later than the 31st October 2024.

Environmental Opportunities
Given the nature of the land holdings there is considerable potential to focus on the enhancement of environmental options including natural capital, woodland creation
and ecological and social enhancement.

For more information about the sale and the lots, please download our brochure or contact Strutt & Parker on[use Contact Agent Button].

The location of the four holdings are as follows:
Lots 1 – 4: Ash Hey Farm, Ash Hey Lane, Picton, Chester CH2 4HD

Lots 5 – 8: Aviary Farm, Welsh Road, Ledsham, Ellesmere Port CH66 9PA

Lot 9: Land at Portersheath Farm, Saighton, Chester CH3 6HA

Lot 10 & 11: Land at Union Farm, NorthwichRoad, Dutton, Warrington WA4 4LB

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
