Barneswood House Barneswood House is an impressive and well-maintained family home, originally constructed in 1902 for Charles Behr. The house was later sold to Sir William Acland, First Baronet and High Sheriff of Hertfordshire, in the 1920’s. Refurbished by the current owners, yet still displaying a wealth of original features, the original house was designed with three wings; the fourth being built later, to enclose the central courtyard. The house is built from attractive red brick set at the end of a beautiful gravelled driveway, enjoying views over its own grounds, surrounded by mature trees. The house is entered through a lobby and large reception hall, with barrel vaulted ceiling. Large archways span the length of the corridor with traditional corniced ceilings and cross patterned wooden flooring. The library is accessed from the hallway with stunning wood panelled walls, open fireplace, high ceilings and bay window. The sitting room and drawing room are lovely light and well-proportioned rooms with delightful views over the gardens. In the heart of the house is an amazing interior courtyard with seating area and balcony, completely enclosed by the walls of the house. The family room is nearest to the kitchen and enjoys magnificent ceiling heights, a stunning inglenook fireplace and large bay window. The extensive kitchen/breakfast room is very well equipped with AGA and large marble top island made by Mark Wilkinson. Beyond is the games room with access to the bar with seating area as well as the laundry and boot room. A commercial fire alarm is installed throughout the house. The traditional wooden staircase with panelled walls and open fireplace leads to the first floor landing. The principal bedroom is well proportioned and has access to a large balcony. There is also a spacious ensuite with Jacuzzi bath. There are a further four bedrooms on the first floor, two with very large connected living spaces and small kitchenettes, one of which could be ideal as an integral flat for staff or grandparents. The recently fully refurbished second floor has two further bedrooms with a family bathroom and separate sitting areas for each bedroom. There is also an extensive converted attic space ideal for recreational or entertainment use.
