Who knew the office you needed was actually a barn!
Set within the grounds of Wickham Hall, our award-winning coworking community in the Hertfordshire countryside, The Wheat Barn is something genuinely special.
A beautifully restored listed barn with exposed timber beams and original period features. Completely renovated inside with state-of-the-art office facilities, fast, reliable tech, and the kind of finish that makes clients sit up and take notice.
But even better than that?
Everything’s taken care of. From the furniture and parking to the cleaning and maintenance, you’ll never have to lift a finger or pay a penny more. Simply show up, plug in and get to work. Not a flat-pack desk in sight.
It’s the sort of place you’ll want to show off. And trust us, your clients will absolutely remember it for all the right reasons.
If you’re looking for a simple, stunning solution to your office quandary, come and visit us.
It's all included. Yes, even the cake!
This is why The Wheat Barn is fundamentally different from your average office.
There are no hidden extras, no quarterly surprises and never any invoices for things you forgot to budget for.
One monthly payment and everything your business needs is already in place when you walk through the door. Even the cake!
No Ikea office furniture. No utilities shenanigans. No ‘weak signal’ Wi-Fi. And definitely no badly behaved printers.
Arrive on day one and get straight to work. We'll handle everything else.
But here's the bit that really makes the difference.
The Wheat Barn isn’t just a beautiful space with brilliant facilities. It’s part of The Residence, a thriving community of over a hundred established businesses, founders and professionals who genuinely want to see each other succeed.
When you join us, you’re not just renting an office. You’re walking into a ready-made network. Regular events, a lively members’ WhatsApp group, warm introductions from Karen, and the kind of organic connections that actually move businesses forward.
New clients. New collaborators. The occasional new hire. It happens here all the time.
“If you get your working environment right and surround yourself with the right people, everything else falls into place much more easily. Lofthouse Group’s performance over the last 12 months has been exceptional, and moving here played a huge part in that.”
“Such a great place for us to work from. Simone and I love it here. It’s been a great first nine months and a truly great decision to move here. Thanks to Karen and Holly for making it all work so well!”
Let’s talk about what an office actually costs
A traditional lease can look like the sensible, grown-up choice, until you add in all your additional costs.
Think utilities, business rates, furniture, IT, cleaning, parking, reception, fit-out costs, and a commitment that could lock you in for a decade while your business changes shape around you.
At The Wheat Barn, none of that is your problem. One price. Short, flexible lease. No nasty surprises. And because your costs are fixed and predictable, you can focus your energy on growing your business instead of managing your office.
See the full cost below.
Short leases with real flexibility and room to grow.
We know that businesses change, teams grow, and strategies shift. The last thing you need is a long-term lease making decisions for you.
At The Wheat Barn, we offer short, flexible terms so you have the security of your own space without being locked in for years.
If your team expands, we’ll work with you. If things change, we’ll find a solution.
It’s an office that works for your business. Not the other way round.

Hi, I'm Karen.
I'd love to show you around.
Back in 2017, I needed a place to work. I’d started my own business, and working from home just wasn’t cutting it. I’m a chatty Karen, and it turns out isolation doesn’t suit me.
So, I found a barn, and before I knew it, I’d opened The Residence.
Eight years on, we’ve built something I’m genuinely proud of. A community where businesses grow, people connect, and nobody has to wrestle with a utility bill or argue about the milk.
The Wheat Barn is the next chapter, and honestly, it’s the most exciting space we’ve ever created. I can’t wait for you to see it.
Come for a tour. Have a coffee. Ask me anything. No hard sell, just a proper look around and an honest conversation about whether it’s the right fit for you.
Over 125 five-star Google reviews. And counting.
Don’t just take our word for it. Here’s what some of our members have to say.
“Since joining The Residence, I’ve expanded my team and brought on several new members. Having such a warm and welcoming environment has made a huge difference to our focus, productivity, and morale. We genuinely enjoy coming into the office each day.”
“l've had a great experience running my business out of The Residence. It's a welcoming, well-run coworking space with a professional but relaxed atmosphere, making it easy to focus and get work done. The space is comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully set up, with everything you need for a productive day. It's also a great environment to be around other professionals without feeling overcrowded or noisy. I'd definitely recommend The Residence to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly shared workspace or a flexible desk to work from.”
Just seven offices. Already generating interest.
The Wheat Barn has a small number of private offices, and they won’t be available for long. Our spaces at The Residence have always been in demand, and The Wheat Barn is already attracting a lot of attention.
If you’re curious, the best thing to do is get in touch sooner rather than later. Come and see it. Bring a colleague. Bring a client if you like. Everyone gets a cuppa!
