River Barn has excellent provenance. The architect was Oliver Hill, a student of Edwin Lutyens, and named by the 20 th Century Society as one of 6 Great Britons. He was commissioned by the owners the Atkeys, a leading local business family, to design a house with the exterior in his Cock Rock country cottage style, the interior and furnishings in his Art Deco style - for which he was most famous - and, like Lutyens, the garden. Copies of the correspondence between Hill and the Atkeys in the development of the design are held in RIBA s library. River Barn was built in 1935 to a Dutch Colonial style and featured in the Ideal Home Magazine of February 1937 as a Small Country House. Hill landscaped the garden in his 1930 s modernism style of long flowing curves. The house was sited to give it wide views of the River Hamble, at the end of a long drive framed by trees: - Copper Beech, Oaks, Acacia, Black Magnolia and a particularly rare and beautiful 80ft Tulip Tree, all planted in The accommodation is generously proportioned throughout, with 3 south facing reception rooms. The elegant drawing room has stunning light oak Noel flooring also seen in the listed Art Deco Shoreham Airport - and the original fireplace laid with Dutch amethyst glazed tiles and Lutyens style clay slips and a log burning stove. The formal dining room has original oak flooring and Dutch tiled fireplace. It is linked to the kitchen through a butler s pantry fitted with the original 1930s built in pine dressers.
