A Unique Opportunity to Own a Cumbrian Tarn

An exceptionally rare opportunity to own a Cumbrian tarn together with mature amenity woodland in over 70 acres of peaceful Cumbrian countryside.

As might be expected in a county that encompasses the Lake District, Cumbria also contains the largest number of tarns in Britain, but it is exceedingly rare for any to be offered for sale.

Hayton Moss Wood & Tarn, this jewel of a tarn together with a total of 71 acres of mature deciduous woodland, accessibly located near the market town of Brampton. Set in the peaceful surroundings, the tarn is an oasis of natural tranquillity, linked to the woodland by a short tree-lined green track, offering immense potential for conservation, recreation or sporting use.

Hayton Moss Wood & Tarn are For Sale by Informal Tender through our South Lakes & North Lancashire Office  at a Guide Price of £600,000

The tarn is situated in beautiful surroundings, but the woodland included adds a much wider dimension to this sale. Together they offer the widest scope for enjoyment, either simply as a sanctuary for nature and wildlife, for shooting, stalking and fishing, or for outdoor leisure and perhaps wild camping. This is such an unusual and unmissable opportunity, and I would urge every potential buyer to visit the property as soon as possible.

The tarn at Hayton Moss stands in a slightly elevated position, protected by grass banks and mature trees, with a timber boathouse at the water’s edge.

Hayton Moss Wood includes a wide variety of broadleaf trees such as Oak and Ash, Yew, Beech, Birch and Hazel, and offers a perfect habitat for flora and fauna including bluebells, woodland birds and roe deer.

The property has been carefully managed by the current owner for natural conservation and shooting, and Hayton Moss Wood has until very recently been let successfully as a lowland pheasant and duck shoot. There are no agreements currently in place and the woodland is not under any Stewardship or Management Schemes but is potentially suitable for a range of grant schemes.

Hayton Moss Wood & Tarn can be viewed on foot at any reasonable time, provided a copy of the sale particulars are in possession. For full particulars please contact the H&H Land & Estates Staveley office on 01539 721375, or email: [email protected]
