Located in the pretty & sought after village of Welwyn stands Guessens, a prestigious Grade 11* rated building, whose name stems from a 14th Century farmer, Stephen De Guessing. For the period 1730-1765 Guessens was the home of a noteworthy poet & dramatist Dr Edward Young, who was also rector of Welywn.
His writing bureau still remains in the Edward Young’s Wing (5) on which he probably penned one of his best known work’s ‘Night Thoughts’. If the walls of Guessens could talk, we would be listening, enthralled, for the next 50 years! Guessens Mews is the redevelopment of this magnificent building by one of Hertfordshire’s front ranking developers, Netherdown Herts Ltd, who boast a reputation of over 40 years creating high quality exclusive homes.
