Summary - Land At Barnard Castle, Demesnes, Barnard Castle, Durham, DL12 DL12 8PE
1 bed 1 bath Land
Spacious rural holding ideal for agriculture, equestrian or conservation projects.
17.72 acres of productive amenity grassland beside the River Tees
A substantial 17.72-acre freehold parcel on the banks of the River Tees, offering around 567 metres of natural shoreline and a mix of amenity grassland, mature trees and a woodland coppice. Positioned just below the southern fringe of historic Barnard Castle, the land enjoys excellent road access via a well-maintained private road off Westwick Road and is suited to agricultural, equestrian or conservation uses.
The site is Grade 3 agricultural land with well-drained coarse loamy and sandy soils (Wick 1 series) and slopes southwards towards the river. The eastern quarter contains remnants of a substantial stone barn and a small watercourse which feeds into the Tees, adding character and potential for sympathetic restoration or habitat enhancement. Two public footpaths cross the land and sporting and mineral rights are included insofar as owned.
Practical considerations are clear: there are no known services or connections on site, the vendor is unaware of any current subsidy or grant claims, and the sale is subject to existing wayleaves, easements and rights of way. Flooding risk is assessed as medium for parts of the site; buyers should factor this into future use or insurance. The local area records higher crime levels and broadband speeds are slow, which may affect certain uses.
This is a versatile rural holding with strong environmental and amenity value, suitable for buyers seeking productive pasture, woodland management, conservation projects or an equestrian base close to Barnard Castle. Development prospects are limited by current planning constraints and physical features, so purchasers should carry out technical, legal and environmental due diligence before committing.
