Lot 3 - Land At Crosemere, Ellesmere

LOT 3: LAND AT CROSEMERE - About 165 acres
(66 hectares)

Set around Crosemere (a SSSI and part of the Midland Meres and Mosses RAMSAR area) this unit provides both a useful piece of arable and grazing ground, alongside a locally significant environment. Classified as Grade 3 and described as light to medium sandy loams, the lot is laid out with three fields (currently part of a wider arable rotation) on the higher undulating ground to the north of the lot, and accommodation grazing land around the mere itself. The mere is subject to a sporting licence to the Ellesmere Angling Club, a well regarded local angling society paying a commercial rent. The mineral rights are not owned in respect of Lot 3, for further details please see the general remarks or contact the selling agents.

Situated just off the main A528 linking Ellesmere to Shrewsbury, the country around Whattall Farm is characterised by productive farmland, traditional villages, and a strong agricultural heritage. Gently rolling fields surround ‘Shropshire’s Lake District’, the locally noted meres being the most obvious evidence that remains of the effect the last ice age had on the area.
