White House Barn is an architect designed and carefully supervised conversion of a former stone and timber framed barn, completed by the current owners in 2024.

The accommodation is arranged to make full use of the barn’s volume and natural light, with expansive glazed openings, exposed structural timbers and a strong connection to the central courtyard. The property sits quietly in the village of Brinsop, surrounded by rolling countryside, yet remains within easy reach of Hereford and its amenities.
