Fire tore through the nine-bedroom 18th Century Grade II-listed mansion at around 1am.
The London Fire Brigade sent 10 fire engines and more than 70 firefighters to tackle the raging inferno.
It took several hours before the fire was brought under control.
The cause of the fire is still unknown and it has not been confirmed whether anyone was injured.
London Fire Brigade said: “Ten fire engines and around 70 firefighters are tackling a fire at a house on Hadley Green Road in Barnet.
“The whole of the roof, as well as most of the first floor and half of the ground floor of the property are alight.
“The Brigade’s Control Officers took the first of seven calls to the fire at 0110 and mobilised crews from Southgate, Barnet, Finchley and surrounding fire stations to the scene.
“The cause of the fire is not known at this time.”
Hollybush House was built in the late 1700s and sprawls across 9,300 sq ft, including an attached cottage, on just over two acres of land.
The main building consists of a drawing room, library, kitchen, dining room, sitting room, art room, and six bedrooms.
Hadley Green Road has been dubbed as Millionaires’ Row because properties are known to go for seven figure price tags.
