New Barn Farm, Norton, Dartmouth TQ6 0NH

INTRODUCTION New Barn Farm forms the southern tip of the historic Raleigh Estate, located between the ancient port of Dartmouth and the beautiful village of Dittisham on the river Dart estuary. The Raleigh Estate is still owned by descendants of the Elizabethan adventurer Sir Walter Raleigh although it was actually a later descendent of his who purchased the current estate from Sir Henry Seale in the late 1800s. This man was Edward Walter Raleigh who was appointed to the Governor General of India and later founded both the Calcutta General Hospital and Eye Infirmary. For over fifty years the farm has been under the careful stewardship of the same tenant. We now offer for sale one of the estate home farms which comprises in all approximately 34 acres.
