Sitting, kitchen, dining, drawing room/s all flow together in this unique barn restored by Michael McNamara Associates.
Originally part of the Walpole estate, it was a grand statement which all visitors to the hall had to go past on their way to Wolterton Hall. This landmark barn, with its three distinctive Dutch gables, now brings together the rural architectural strengths of the 19th century with the style and comfort of the 21st.
“This is a truly a beautiful barn, its symmetry and proportions create a wonderful flowing living space both outside and in.”
Ryan McNamara, Construction Manager, (BA Hons)
