Briggens House

Briggens House is a Grade II listed country house in Hunsdon that now operates as a hotel. The building retains its historical architecture, with gardens and grounds that reflect different periods of development and use.

The house began in early times and was shaped by various owners, including Lord Hunsden who developed it across the 17th and 18th centuries. During World War II it played a hidden role in supporting military operations and intelligence work.

The gardens show traces from different periods, with areas shaped by Charles Bridgeman in the 1720s reflecting changing tastes and interests of its owners. Walking through these spaces reveals how people once used and valued the land around the house.

The house is accessible to visitors as a hotel and preserves its historical rooms and grounds. Plan time to explore both the building itself and its extensive gardens at a comfortable pace.

During World War II the property was a hidden location where specialists created forged documents that helped agents on their covert missions. This quiet work played an understated role in the war effort.
