Long Barn

Long Barn is an English country house in Sevenoaks Weald that combines brick and timber framing under traditional roof tiles. The structure dates to the early 1500s and remains protected as a Grade II* listed building.

The house was built around 1500 and received Grade II* listed status in 1954. This classification recognizes its outstanding importance to English architectural history.

The property was home to writers who created a garden that became a gathering place for artists and intellectuals. Visitors can still see traces of this creative vision reflected in the garden's design today.

The property opens only for pre-arranged group visits, with specialized courses available on garden design. The best time to visit is during the growing season when the gardens are in full development.

In the 1930s, the Lindbergh family found refuge here while armed guards watched over their children in the gardens. This chapter from a turbulent period in history remains part of the property's story.
