This beautifully converted early 1900s engine house combines historic character with a thoughtfully designed modern extension. The property’s standout feature is its large double-height main living space, complete with a mezzanine level, offering scale, depth and flexibility.
Flooded with natural light throughout the day, the interiors provide a bright and adaptable backdrop enhanced by a simple, neutral material palette. The house is filled with carefully curated furniture and props collected over more than 20 years from flea markets and antique stores. A wood burner adds warmth and atmosphere.
Outside, a peaceful and private walled garden offers an additional backdrop options, while the property’s attractive façade enhances its exterior appeal. The location also benefits from easy parking directly outside.
A NOTE FROM THE OWNER
“The Engine House sits in the quiet park area of what were once the grounds of Barton Hall. It was built to provide the stately home with electricity, but in 1914 a fire ripped through the hall and The Engine House and its two oil powered engines were rendered redundant.
It was bought in 2014, exactly 100 years after the fire. It had fallen into dereliction and took four years to make it what it is today – a deeply loved home.”
