Land At Tilstone Bank, Birds Lane, Bunbury, Tarporley, Cheshire, CW6

A well located block of cropping land, with direct road access, suitable for grazing or cropping.

Description

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 arable 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.

The ground at Tilstone Bank comprises four interconnected fields, which are all understood to be temporary grass. The land is sloping throughout, but nevertheless suitable for grazing or forage production. Access is off a lane, immediately connecting into the A51.

In all, the land comprises about 20.81 acres (8.41 hectares), is classified as Grade III under the Agricultural Land Classification scale, and described as deep sands and sandy loams (being glaciofluvial deposits), typically well suited to grazing and forage production.
