Kettle Green Lane, Much Hadham, Hertfordshire, SG10

A private Grade II listed 17th century barn, beautifully converted with award winning design, blending historic character with modern comfort in a peaceful courtyard setting.

Description

Set within a discreet and wonderfully private position, this remarkable home forms part of an attractive range of Grade II listed barns dating back to the 17th century.

Converted some 30 years ago by the current owner in collaboration with Wigfall Architects, the property achieved an architectural award at the time - recognition of the thoughtful craftsmanship and sensitive approach taken to preserve its enduring historic character.

Approached through an simple and discreet entrance, the property opens into a delightful Mediterranean style courtyard garden, creating an immediate sense of calm and seclusion.

The barn is link detached and benefits from parking for two or three cars together with garaging; one of the two garages has been skilfully adapted into a workshop.

Inside, the home is rich with original Tudor features, where exposed beams and impressive vaulted ceilings celebrate the building’s heritage. A striking glazed gable end leads you to the vaulted entrance hall, drawing natural light deep into the space and offering a memorable welcome.

The bespoke kitchen is beautifully appointed, featuring high quality cabinetry, an island unit, and premium Miele appliances, while the seamless blend of contemporary finishes with traditional structure continues throughout the property.

The ground floor main bedroom is a generous and restful space, complete with extensive full height fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en suite bathroom incorporating a walk in shower. A guest cloakroom and plentiful built in storage enhance the practicality of the home.

A standout feature is the fabulous first floor mezzanine lounge, set beneath magnificent timber beams and centred around a wood burning stove creating an atmospheric retreat ideal for relaxation or entertaining.

To the rear, a large studio or family room opens directly onto the courtyard garden. Currently used as an occasional bedroom, it includes its own mezzanine sleeping platform. This versatile space links through to a further guest bedroom, also featuring a mezzanine, served by an additional shower room.

Carefully curated and sensitively modernised, this unique home offers an exceptional combination of history, quality and character, all set within a peaceful and tucked away setting.
