TENDERS CLOSED A collection of farms and land in Cheshire offered for sale as a whole portfolio or as separate lots | About 672.03 acres (271 ha) | Available as a whole or in up to 11 lots. TENDERS CLOSED 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.
