Description
Description
Land at Malpas
Summary
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.
Lot 3 - Wych Brook Woodlands
Lot 3 comprises some 54 acres of woodland and pasture running along the Wych Brook. The woodland itself is mature and mixed, containing a good number of native species. Within the Eastern part of the woodland is a Scheduled Ancient Monument, called Castle Hill, a motte and ditch system. Within the Western part of the woodland is a SSSI, known as the Well Rough and Long Plantation SSSI.
Included within the lot is a area of hard standing and a general purpose steel framed building (measuring approximately 28m x 10m). This provides a useful area for storage from which to manage the woodland, as well as providing parking and access for machinery. The vendor shall require the purchaser to enter into a deed of overage in respect of the building and yard, being the area edged red on the plan attached, full details are available from the selling agents.
