Elberta Barn

Wakes Colne, Essex | Sleeps 6

Most barns install mezzanines that hide their height. Most barns put plasterboard between the studs and rafters. Most barns lose the essence of their pastoral roots. But this is not most barns; Elberta Barn goes to great lengths to uplift its origin story. Set west of Dedham Vale — the prized postcode in the heart of Constable Country, and once a playground for celebrated English landscape painters — this is the rural home of a curator turned landscape designer.
