LOT 1 of The Croston Estate - Beech Grove Farm
About 556 acres (225 ha)
Beech Grove Farm is the principal farming base for the estate and lies on the southern boundary, with access from Black Moor Road in Mawdesley. The farmstead includes a farmhouse (see Lot 1A), a range of modern agricultural buildings and an access road which links into the wider network of estate roads.
The Croston Estate is a large, ring-fenced commercial farm situated in West Lancashire – an intensively farmed and predominantly flat landscape stretching west of the M6 between Preston and the Ribble Estuary in the north and Liverpool and the River Mersey in the south.
Moss Farm on the northern boundary of the estate adjoins the historic village of Croston; the estate extends south to Beech Grove Farm at Mawdesley village in the south.
Croston is situated on the River Yarrow and is particularly attractive and sought after owing to its 17th-century historic charm and rural location. The village has two convenience stores, a chemist, coffee shop, a host of pubs and restaurants, a primary school and a large sports club. Croston railway station is on the Ormskirk line running between Liverpool and Preston. Leyland and Preston in the north and Ormskirk to the south offer a larger range of day to day needs. Preston is also located on the West Coast Mainline and provides regular rail services to London Euston.
The estate is highly accessible with its southern boundary and principal farm, Beech Grove Farm, located at Mawdesley which is some 6 miles from junction 27 of the M6.
