Historical Note: The Windmill Barn, a Grade II listed barn, stands as a significant historical landmark within the pastoral landscape of Barnet, North London. Originally constructed in 1788 as part of the Arkley Mills estate, the barn was integral to local agricultural practices, supporting animal husbandry and grain storage. Over centuries, the barn underwent gradual adaptations, reflecting evolving industrial and residential needs, first serving as stabling for brickwork ponies in the 19th century, then transitioning into granary storage in the mid-20th century. Today, it presents a rare opportunity to preserve a significant piece of local heritage whilst giving it an exciting new chapter.
This opportunity enjoys a wonderfully semi-rural location within close proximity to Arkley Golf Course, yet is located on the fringes of Barnet and Mill Hill, which both provide a good range of shopping facilities, including the Spires Shopping Centre, and an excellent selection of restaurants. The area has an excellent reputation for schooling, both state and private, including Haberdashers’, Belmont, Mill Hill School, QE Boys and QE Girls. Arkley Golf Club is also close. High Barnet tube station (Northern Line) is approximately 2 miles away and Mill Hill Broadway mainline station is approximately 3 miles away. The M25, A1 and M1 are also accessible. Central London is approximately 13 miles away and Brent Cross approximately 8 miles away.
