Whittaker Mews is a newly renovated cottage in the heart of the village of Rocester on the Staffordshire/Derbyshire border. The original property was a storage barn constructed in the late 1800's. In the early part of the 20th century, the barn was used as a small builders and timber yard serving the local community. During the mid 1980's the building was converted into smaller individual dwellings. Since purchasing the property, it has undertook a complete renovation taking two years to complete.
