Gallery:
-
this area is large, but as the roof beams cross it in two places at chest height, it is mainly enjoyed by the youngsters in the group! There is a cafe style table and 4 chairs with small TV for DVDs, as well as books, games etc
Garden:
-
patio with benches and table and chairs;
-
planted banks leading up to lawn and seating under cherry plum tree next to cascading stream (no access to stream at this point)
-
views over village to front, and fields and Pennine Hills to rear.
Parking:
-
is at the front of the Barn, just as you come into the front yard from the road. Here there is room for at least 4 cars, but with careful parking and smaller cars, it is possible to get more in. The old mill buildings are adjacent to this area, and the old mill stream runs through part of it, so children must be warned of potential dangers. There are 2 doors into the Barn, one at ground level, straight from the car park, which is strongly recommended in bad weather or in the dark and another accessed by the old stone steps from the parking area. These are a bit uneven so take care.
