Common Barn Farm

SatNav – OS: SJ968760, Postcode: SK10 5XJ, ///singer.king.earmarked

commonbarnThis self catering holiday cottage and B&B is part of a working farm. Newly built in the new century in traditional style with stone walls and stone roof tiles, this premises must have one of the finest views even in this beautiful area, in the Peak District National Park, looking out over the upper Dean valley and Lamaload reservoir. In fact, from around the buildings there are wonderful views across the Cheshire plain as far as the Welsh mountains on a fair day. This is an excellent example of farming diversification, a wonderful location for enjoying the countryside from the farming perspective. While I enjoyed the views the sheep were being given their annual dipping across the yard!
