Joe Prentice and Iain Soden Summary Three empty National Trust properties have been recorded to various levels, according to their size, complexity and perceived heritage importance. Park View Farm (1) is a post-War brick farmhouse with an assortment of modern former farming sheds. Grange Cottage (2) is a 19th-century house with a variety of outbuildings, some ruinous, which enjoys an extraordinary setting and views across the valley to Hardwick Hall. Yew Tree Cottage (3) is a deteriorating 18th-19th century house with dilapidated outbuildings. All are in need of attention but may have a variety of uses when conserved or otherwise returned to use.
