High Moor Estate, Newby Head, CA10

Manor Barn sits in 30 acres. It is surrounded by its own private and exceptional land on all sides. The owners lengthy and detailed planning process has ensured that the property once completed would be a landmark building worthy of it’s surroundings. The images on pages one to seven inclusive, are for illustrative purposes only.

The main barn now has full planning permission for 410m2 of exceptional residential living space. The design boasts full height glazing to the eastern elevation which will forever ensure that Manor Barn benefits both internally and externally from the spectacular, unrestricted views of the Pennines and surrounding countryside. In addition to this there is a second magnificent fully glazed, full height, south facing threshing opening, along with further large sections of architectural roof glazing to continue the flow and connection between the internal living spaces and it's surrounding land. The plans include for the existing footprint of Manor Barn to be increased and the overall height to be raised.

Adjacent to the main barn there is now planning for a substantial detached garage with annexe above. This offers the new owner real flexibility for a sizeable office/studio, or independent accommodation for a relative perhaps. The permission is for 180m2 (90m2 ground floor inc. residential garage + 90m2 residential apartment above)

.

There is also permission for a large 97m2 contemporary agricultural barn, offering additional large storage for estate machinery. This large agricultural barn has also been designed specifically with consideration to the estates eco/environmental credentials, and as such it includes a bespoke design for an independent electrical/solar installation including storage batteries in order to provide electricity to Manor Barn with an on-grid experience. 

Additionally there is also permission and plans for a new stone barn, 54m2 this is a mini version of Manor Barn.

LAND

The 30 acres included in the sale is ringfenced, sown to grass and stockproof. The fields are currently let on an annual grazing licence to a local farmer to graze sheep. These fields are bordered by other fields and topography of the land is attractively undulating with the enchanting Newby Beck meandering through the central and west part of the estate.

The estate is approached down a leafy tree lined lane on the fringe of the village of Newby, although not belonging to the estate the owner has recently constructed an attractive, access bridge to accommodate construction traffic and ensure durability with a 36-ton weight limit. From the entry gate into the estate a track leads up to the stone barn. Viewings are either a short walk or 4 wheel drive vehicle would be required.

LOCATION

The property is perfectly located between the pretty villages of Morland and King’s Meaburn in the heart of the Eden Valley, on the fringes of both the Lake District National Park and the Northern Pennines.
