Parking Barley Cottage is situated on a former 136 acre working farm, it was converted from a grain barn to a cottage in the 1970s. A dedicated private car port (left hand side) was also created at the same time which remains a valuable and nostalgic part of the property. It is conveniently situated right next to the cottage front door. We have modified the car port to make it as accessible as possible for modern wider cars, whilst maintaining its sturdy structure and original character. We have had Range Rovers, Ravs, Audis, parking in the car port with no problems. If you have a very large vehicle or small van you can park in front of the stone steps leading up to the cottage front door.
