The Barn House

The Property The Barn House is Grade II listed and unusual for Hertfordshire in that it has both timber and brick construction. The redevelopment of the site began 20 years ago with London architects Brooks Murray using oak weather boarding and materials of highest integrity. The buildings are connected creating an internal courtyard allowing you to enjoy views of the topiary garden and contemporary koi pond as you walk around this beautiful home. The design has focused as much on the outside as internal layout. The concept has been to create a sanctuary offering complete privacy whilst enjoying the changing English seasons, offering opportunities both for quiet reflection and also areas for large social gatherings with family and friends.
