Why buy a smallholding in Cheshire
Cheshire is grass and livestock country. 68% of its farmed land is grass, across 2,552 commercial holdings running about 208,000 cattle and 163,000 sheep. For a smallholding that means grazing to let or take nearby, working livestock markets, and neighbours who farm.
Peak District National Park protect a large part of Cheshire, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.
Planning is decided by 4 councils in Cheshire (Cheshire East, Cheshire West and Chester, Halton, and Warrington), so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
