Blackton Grange, Barnard Castle, County Durham

Blackton Grange is a traditional stone-built farmhouse which nestles deep in the heart of the North Pennines, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), rumoured to be England's last wilderness. Enjoying unspoilt views of hills and Blackton Reservoir, Blackton Grange sits between the picturesque towns of Middleton-in-Teesdale and Barnard Castle.
