Barrington Hall

Barrington Hall is a Georgian mansion near Hatfield Broad Oak built with red brick, featuring ornamental Dutch gables and a balustraded parapet. The house stands within 41 acres of parkland planted with mature trees and a lake.

The house was built in 1735 under John Shales Barrington's direction as a red brick Georgian structure. After remaining largely vacant for decades, it was revived during the 1860s under new ownership and vision.

The Barrington family shaped the local area for centuries through their stewardship of Hatfield Forest's woodlands. Visitors can sense the connection between the house and this ancestral role in the surrounding landscape today.

The property includes seven bedrooms and six bathrooms with amenities such as an indoor swimming pool, steam rooms, and equestrian facilities. Visitors should allow time to explore both the interior spaces and the extensive grounds surrounding the house.

The house was transformed from corporate offices into a private residence in 2014, showing how older commercial spaces can find new purpose. This change reflects the ongoing appreciation for well-designed historic structures in modern times.
