Raby Estates has been preparing proposals for the refurbishment and redevelopment of Croft Farmhouse and associated land, barns and outbuildings to create 5 residential dwellings.
The development includes selective demolition of dilapidated barns along with the provision of associated access, parking and landscaping.
Prior to the submission of a planning application, we are keen to consult neighbours and seek feedback on our plans.

Three years ago, Raby acquired the old NatWest Bank building at 28 The Market Place, Barnard Castle, to create a link between the Market Place and the Castle at Barnard Castle, which lies to the rear of the premises. The project aims to bring into use the Outer Ward of the Castle, to enhance the Castle’s profile and contribution to the economic life of the town. 28 Market Place offers a potential gateway and resource. The Castle at Barnard Castle was built soon after 1093 on a dramatic site above the River Tees. The Castle was built to control a river crossing between the Bishop of Durham’s territory and the Honour of Richmond. Much of the present Castle was built during the 12th and early 13th centuries by the Balliol family. From the 14th century onwards, the Castle belonged to the Earls of Warwick, and from 1471 to 1485 to the Duke of Gloucester, later Richard III. After a fierce siege during the Rising of the North in 1569, when the Castle was bombarded by rebels, the Castle went into steep decline and was effectively abandoned by the early 17th century. It has remained an imposing ruin ever since.
