Located in the pretty & sought after village of Welwyn stands Guessens, a prestigious Grade II* listed 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. The development has been carefully designed by an award winning architect, who together with Netherdown have lovingly created homes that take into account the beautiful period features of the house & enhancing the original glory & character of the building to establish 5 stunning homes from the existing house & 3 thoughtful new builds. Outwardly these buildings appear untouched from their original form, but Netherdown has enjoyed giving Guessens a new lease on life under a different guise, transforming it into beautiful homes.
