6 bedrooms House in Barnet Lane, Elstree, Borehamwood WD6
The Leys is an Arts and Crafts country house designed by the eminent architect George Walton and constructed in 1901. The house is believed to be one of his finest works, with the overall aesthetic and detailing influenced by the Glasgow School; it is a fine example rarely seen in the south of England. The early Edwardian style has been beautifully preserved and there are many fine character features throughout. The interiors retain much of their spatial integrity, with generous proportions, high ceilings and Crittall-style windows creating a feeling of light and space. The vast, double-height galleried hall displays wood panelling, a mostly original staircase and a handsome stone fireplace. Many original touches can be found throughout the earlier part of the home and the 1923 extension, including fireplaces, wall panelling and structural details. The house was the home of the esteemed photographer J. B. B. Wellington until 1939. Comprising 24,057 sq. ft including outbuildings and garaging, much of the original character of the house remains, the interiors have been extensively renovated to an exceptional standard, offering a high level of finish. As well as the addition of impressive wellness and leisure facilities, the home has been upgraded with the expected comforts of underfloor heating, a full security system with alarm and CCTV, beautiful spa-quality bathrooms and a professional standard kitchen with premium appliances. The interiors are beautifully appointed in a style complementary to the age and character of the house, while offering all the desired modern conveniences. The Leys is set within grounds of about 7.8 acres, comprising both informal park-like grounds and formal gardens, of which the most notable area extends from the impressive front elevations and is laid out, parterre style, around an ornamental pond with a central fountain. There is extensive garaging and various outbuildings including staff accommodation, a gatehouse and office.
