DESCRIPTION

Church Barns is located within the heart of Easneye Estate, a traditional family run rural estate to the east of Ware. Historically, the site was run as a dairy farm and comprised a range of traditional agricultural buildings. The conversion of the buildings into a commercial hub has been sensitive to their rural heritage. Hand-in-hand with this effort has been an intelligent adaptation of the site to enable the businesses of its tenants to operate and thrive. This includes the provision of spacious office layouts that are light and airy, practical proportions for its light industrial units that come equipped with three phase electricity supplies, high speed broad band and electric car charging points. The result has been the creation of a well-designed commercial hub that exudes character and charm.

The units have been clad with larch timber and black weatherboarding to provide a carefully crafted aesthetic designed to blend seamlessly with its idyllic natural surroundings. In addition, the site incorporates a beautifully executed landscaping scheme. Planted communal areas provide outdoor spaces for tenants to relax and enjoy the views.

Following the grant of planning permission for the conversion of the buildings to B1 office and light industrial use (East Herts planning reference 3/17/0002/FUL) the construction phase commenced in early 2019. Church Barns is due to be ready for occupation in early 2020.
