Barnet House is a twelve-storey office block at 1255 High Road, on the corner of Baxendale, at Whetstone, London, N20.
[2] The site the directors selected had previously been occupied by a private villa known as "Woodside", which had been built for Joseph Baxendale in 1841,[3] and which had served as a care home from 1889.
[5][6][7] The design involved a twelve storey-tower facing onto High Road, with a three-storey structure behind.
[11] In March 2017, it was announced that the building in Whetstone would be converted into 254 flats, some as small as 16 square metres.
[9][12][13] The size of the smallest flats in the building was criticised by local councillors with one saying "These rabbit hutch homes would turn Barnet House into a human filing cabinet".
