Description

Grade II Listed | Approx. 9 Acres | 6 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms | Multiple Outbuildings

A Rarely Available Country Estate of Character, Scale and Elegance

Tucked away in the exclusive and picturesque hamlet of Bentley Heath, this remarkable Grade II listed estate offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of English heritage.

Dating back to the late 17th or early 18th century, Bentley Heath Farm House is set in around 9 acres of private land, combining historic charm, exceptional versatility, and a setting of rare tranquillity - all within easy reach of central London.

Main Residence – Rich in Period Detail and Family Warmth

Constructed from classic red brick and topped with a traditional slate roof, the main house presents a handsome five-bay front with a central entrance framed by steps and decorative sash windows. Extended in the 19th century, it blends historic authenticity with family-friendly proportions.

Inside, the home is full of character, featuring original timber-framed glazing bar sash windows, charming fireplaces, exposed beams, and elegant ceiling heights. The layout is designed for flexibility and comfort:

• Four double bedrooms, each generously proportioned and full of light.

• Two bathrooms, tastefully appointed and well positioned.

• A variety of reception rooms, ideal for formal entertaining, relaxed family time, or home working.

• Bedroom four connects directly to the barn wing, offering a seamless guest or annex arrangement.

From morning coffee in the sunlit kitchen to winter evenings by the fire, this is a home that invites you to settle in and make it your own.

The Converted Barn – Rustic Charm with Residential Elegance

Beautifully linked to the main house, the converted barn offers a unique blend of vernacular architecture and contemporary comfort. Constructed in traditional timber framing, it boasts impressive craftsmanship including:

• A four-bay layout with exposed clasped purlin roof structures.

• Queen struts to tie beams, adding dramatic scale and visual interest.

• Additional bedroom and bathroom accommodation, making it ideal for guests, teenagers, or even a separate living area.

The barn could be used as a private retreat, an inspiring studio, or extended living space that blends seamlessly with the main residence.

The Dairy House & Guest Annex – Flexible Living or Commercial Opportunity

Positioned to the rear of the main courtyard, the Dairy House has served as the heart of a successful family business. This adaptable building holds great potential - whether for continued commercial use, creative workshops, or expanded residential living.

At its far end lies a fully self-contained guest annex, perfect for hosting friends, live-in staff, or as a long-term rental option. It includes:

• A double bedroom with peaceful views
• A bright and comfortable lounge
• A modern, fully equipped kitchen
• A stylish, full bathroom suite

It offers privacy, convenience, and an opportunity to generate additional income or welcome guests in comfort.

Outbuildings, Grounds & Outdoor Living

The estate is equipped with a wide range of substantial outbuildings, including two large barns that could be used for storage, equestrian facilities, event hosting, or further development (subject to planning consent).

The property’s 9 acres of land offer a lifestyle few can match, with:

• Beautifully maintained formal gardens, perfect for summer entertaining.

• A private tennis court, ideal for recreation and leisure.

• Expansive paddocks, which could be split or adapted for equestrian use, hobby farming, or simply enjoying the outdoors.

• A secure gated courtyard, creating a sense of arrival and providing ample parking for multiple vehicles.

The setting is both private and picturesque, providing peace, security, and the feel of a true country retreat.

About Statons, Hadley Wood

10 Crescent West, Barnet, EN4 0EJ
Industry affiliations:

With five networked Hertfordshire and North London branches and associated offices in Mayfair, Statons are perfectly placed to showcase all that this wonderful region has to offer for an unparalleled quality of life.

These offices are not franchised with the limitations that imposes, each office is a key component of the Statons team, with constant communication ensuring that everyone knows which properties are on the market across the entire area.

This is a sophisticated part of the world with the huge added benefit of being equally within reach of both Central London and some of our loveliest countryside, as well as enjoying easy access to excellent transport links – all three major London airports are a short distance away.

It is little surprise to us at Statons that continued interest in relocating to our part of the world simply increases year on year. As you might expect, this is matched by the availability of superb schooling, shopping, restaurants and hotels and clients seek to benefit from the area’s fantastic amenities by buying from our extensive portfolio of stunning properties.

A wealth of experience lies behind our agency and while we move with the times, our philosophy remains unshakeable. We see the whole picture as a service to people: a home is not just a building, but a place for living. When matching homes to people it is their needs and lifestyle we look at first and foremost and we can offer comprehensive information about the locality, specifically tailored to each individual and unique situation we meet.

If you do not know the area, why not take advantage of our drive round tours which can be arranged from any of our five offices. Not only is this a quick and effective way to see a number of our properties, but we will also show you the proximity to schools, transport links, shops, restaurants and leisure facilities.

As an obvious extension of our love for the area and its lifestyle, we are the only agency in the area with a dedicated New Homes and Land department and we are also now operating a very successful Premier Lettings division. The lettings expertise we can provide is just one more way in which this superb location can be offered to those who would like to move here and we welcome enquiries for this, as we do for all our other properties.

It is a privilege to be able to share this fabulous way of life with you.

The Statons Team

We appreciate our local community and enjoy an extensive involvement with all sorts of initiatives and activities. Statons’ participation in local events gives us immense pleasure as being a central part of the local community and we are therefore proud of the following associations: We are sponsors of, amongst others, The Hadley Wood Association, Potters Bar Crusaders Under 13’s, Hadley Wood Tennis Club, Barnet Rugby Club and Hadley Rangers Football Club. In addition there are fetes at Essendon and Brookmans Park, and we support many local charities including making donations to help preserve the Barnet Church spire. We also help provide a much loved annual event; the firework display at Hadley Wood Association. A natural by-product of our involvement is the knowledge and opportunities we are able to pass on to our clients.

With such a long standing history in the area, Statons knowledge of the local market and the people who live here is unequalled. Such is our confidence, clients are invited and actively encouraged to visit our offices to see for themselves just how many potential buyers and properties we have registered in your area, or even you road and to see how many people place their trust in the Statons name. This is just a small measure of confidence that the company has in our ability to serve you at every level of the market.

All of the team have an in-depth knowledge of the locality and the range of services available giving them the opportunity to talk to you and potential clients about the local schools, transport links and facilities.

From cottages to country estates is not just a strapline, it is a genuine measure of the wide range of homes in the Statons portfolio and you can be assured that every client receives the same exacting standards of service and dedication to detail.

When you choose to work with Statons, you engage the services of their entire team – each member sharing common goals and working together for their clients satisfaction. Each branch is a component part of the whole team, continually sharing information on properties and matching them with eager buyers. Investment in modern technology, dedicated computer programming and websites provide valuable communication tools but shall never be seen as a replacement for traditional service and the all important personal touch.

Across our offices you will find a team of hard working, dedicated individuals all chosen for their knowledge and desire to underpin the Statons service ethos.

Statons estate agents have worked in the local community for over 25 years and we are proud of our long standing reputation not only for the successful sale of so many properties but for our integrity and dedication to customer service.

We believe that every client is important and fully understand that buying or selling your home is one of the most emotive and important decisions that you will make in your lifetime. Despite our success and continued growth, at no time have we lost sight of this core ethos and allowed the all important personal attention that drives us forward to become absorbed by a sea of commercialism.

We treat every client as unique and apply the highest standards to every situation in the belief that empathy, understanding and a thoroughly established rapport are the key elements to a successful outcome. We take time to get to know our clients, whether they be buying, selling or letting and by building a knowledge for their requirements we can help to ease the whole property process. Our business is all about you – our valued clients – and whilst our growth and success are an endearing recognition of our achievements, of greater importance is the satisfaction of our clients and the strength of our on-going relationship with them.

Communication is the key to our success and whatever your property requirements, we invite you to talk to us, share our knowledge and experience and allow us to ensure that your sale or purchase is both successful and uncomplicated. We have an extensive team of dedicated individuals throughout our offices and you can be assured of their very finest attention.

We look forward to being of service to you.
