estled into the countryside of Chester County, the Entertainment Barn at Hillview Farm offers a harmonious blend of rustic elegance and modern functionality. Its fieldstone-constructed lower level and timber-frame hillside entrance pay homage to the region’s classic bank barns. At the end of a winding driveway, a set of expansive sliding wooden doors beckon entry into the barn. In stark contrast to the rich wood shutters and field stone cladding, vertical boardand-batten siding defines the exterior façade. Another traditional feature of the Pennsylvania bank barn, a central cupola crowns the gable roof, with its eagle weather vane swaying in the wind. Inside the Willistown party barn, a spacious, open layout brings friends and family together for entertaining. From reclaimed oak floors and walls to the wood-board cathedral ceiling, the materiality of the interior exudes rusticity and warmth. The chef’s kitchen, featuring a pizza oven and state-of-the-art cooking facilities, is equipped to host grand family gatherings. A floor-to-ceiling fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the space, grounding the design and drawing loved ones together. An extension of the barn’s interior, the covered patio flanked by tapered stone pillars creates a cozy outdoor place to gather. The entertainment barn at Hillview Farm seamlessly intertwines bucolic Chester County charm with contemporary practicality to provide an ideal setting for festive celebrations, milestone events, and cherished memories.
