North Bank Farm, DH8

North Bank Farm takes its name from its unique position on the edge of the Derwent Reservoir. Sitting a stone’s throw from the shoreline, its location affords amazing views across the water towards County Durham. Built at the turn of the 20th century, North Bank Farm has maintained a hold on history, retaining a traditionally built stone farmhouse, the original dairy and preserved barns all set around an old worn courtyard with chipped paint doors and tumbled stone walls. The farm provides an isolated and barren backdrop for filming and photoshoots with striking views straight on to the water.

  • Grass fields, rolling hills and reservoir views.
  • A small planted area of young woodland including pine trees overlooking the reservoir.
  • An ‘Olde English Farm’ courtyard setting with granary, disused dairy and an artists studio/bothy.
  • A period farmhouse and attached stone granary barn for exteriors only.
  • Access to a small, meandering river cutting through grass fields, a short drive from the main farm.
