Springwell Lane, Rickmansworth, WD3

Hay Barn House is an exceptional waterfront residence, newly transformed to an outstanding standard and set in a truly idyllic position beside both the Grand Union Canal and the River Colne. Once an 18th-century agricultural building, the property has been skillfully extended and remodelled in recent years to blend its period charm with the sophistication of modern living.
Upon entering the inviting reception hall, you’re immediately greeted by abundant natural light that accentuates the home’s open, airy feel. The layout has been carefully designed to flow effortlessly between traditional and contemporary elements, linking the kitchen, dining area, family room, and adjoining living spaces. At the rear, bi-fold doors open onto an extensive garden with serene canalside views, while further doors lead to a delightful private courtyard, perfect for outdoor entertaining or relaxed family gatherings.
The spectacular vaulted living room, once the original hay barn, is a true centrepiece. With exposed timber beams, a statement fireplace, and a cosy log-burning stove, it exudes both drama and warmth. Overlooking this remarkable space is a handcrafted oak mezzanine balcony, offering architectural flair and a unique perspective of the room below.
Accommodation includes four generous ensuite bedrooms, each individually designed with its own personality and comfort in mind. Every detail of the conversion balances style with practicality, incorporating a separate study, a fully equipped utility room, a garage with a full-sized inspection pit, ideal for motoring enthusiasts and a plant room for essential systems.
