The Stable Block. 

Trent Park is a Mansion House set in extensive grounds in Barnet, North London. The Mansion House and Grounds cover several acres and were self-sufficient, with housekeeping staff, groundsmen and outbuildings including accommodation for staff, machinery and Horses. Latterly in the 1900s the stables were also adapted for vehicles. 

Trent Park dates back to the 14th Century and was one of George IV’s hunting grounds. In 1777 George III leased the site to his favourite doctor Sir Richard Jebb.

After numerous owners, in 1909 the estate was sold to Sir Edward Sassoon. In 1912 the socialite Sir Phillip Sassoon inherited the estate following his Father’s death. He is renowned for the famous guests he entertained, amongst whom were, A young Queen Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, George Bernard Shaw and the famous artist Rex Whistler whose work can still be seen in some of the panelled rooms.

After the war the whole site was taken over by Middlesex University until 2012.

In 2017 the site was purchased by Berkeley Group and planning permission was granted for 262 new homes. 

The Stable Block having listed status was retained in 2022 Goldsmiths were contracted to make the buildings structurally sound with structural alterations to allow the buildings to be redeveloped into 7 number high-end individual homes. Our works included damp-proof works and restoration of the original windows, facades, stone, masonry and period details all to the satisfaction of heritage and planning requirements.

This project was completed in 2024.
