Description
More recently, an extensive refurbishment programme has been commenced but not completed.
Internally the house is ready for a new owner to implement their own vision. The house is not listed and the current plans are for light and spacious reception rooms on the ground floor with comfortable bedroom accommodation on the first and second floors. A particular feature will be the magnificent double height drawing room with a gallery on the first floor level, a massive ‘Baronial’ fireplace and arched French doors opening on to the south facing terrace. Whilst Barwythe Hall is an exceptionally elegant house it also offers the opportunity to create a very manageable family home with numerous characterful and pleasing features. The large cellar, ideal for wine storage includes a deep brick-built well, whilst a staircase from the second floor leads to the roof top conservatory and the terrace with far reaching views.
Gardens and Grounds
The gardens and grounds are laid mostly to lawn and interspersed with a selection of fine, mature specimen trees including cedar of Lebanon, oak, monkey puzzle and wellingtonia. Deep banks of rhododendrons provide privacy and an array of colour in the late spring and early summer months.
A wide terrace flanks the south elevation with steps leading down to the principal lawn. To the west is the sheltered cutting garden ideal for a swimming pool.
Situated high in the Chiltern Hills, Barwythe Hall is surrounded by well managed agricultural land and traditional mixed woodland. The historic village of Studham with two pubs, a church and active sports club is within half a mile. Comprehensive facilities are available in Berkhamsted just 7 miles away including good shopping. There is a strong selection of both state and independent schools in the district, notably Beechwood Park Prep School and Berkhamsted Schools for boys and girls.
Communications are excellent by both road and rail. The A41 linking to the M25 is within 8 miles and the M1 6 miles away. Fast and frequent trains leave Hemel Hempstead reaching London Euston in approximately 31 minutes. Luton Airport is 10 miles distant
