Grade II listed for its special architectural or historical interest, Belfry Barn is a former threshing barn constructed with weatherboard clad elevations under tiled roofs. Believed to date from the 17th century, it is one of a range of traditional farm buildings originally converted in 1997 and which received the prestigious top Civic Award for Design and Conservation by North Herts District Council in 1996/97 in recognition for the high standard of workmanship it received. Since this time, the current owners have further improved the property over the last eight years, with the conversion of the old car port into a superb family room and there is also planning permission in place for additional alterations to create a new study and boot room/cloakroom in the entrance hall and to open the dining room to the garden via bi-fold doors.
The accommodation itself successfully combines the character of the original period building with the convenience of modern day living and is finished to an exceptionally high standard, featuring a wealth of magnificent exposed timbers, oak doors and floors.
