Key facts
Property description
A substantial five-bedroom detached family home extending to approximately 3,067 sq ft in total, including a fully insulated climate-controlled garden studio, set behind private gates with a generous driveway and exceptional landscaped rear garden. The ground floor is centred around an open-plan kitchen/breakfast room and an impressive connected living and entertaining space of more than 50ft, where the sitting room, dining room and conservatory flow together rather than feeling like separate rooms. Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes a vaulted ceiling, dressing area, ensuite steam shower and Juliet balcony, while flexible work-from-home space is complemented by the detached garden studio. The property provides two separate work-from-home environments, with the detached garden studio and a dedicated workspace within the house each served by independent broadband connections. With excellent road links via the M1 (Junction 9 – approx. 5 mins drive) and easy access to Harpenden, St Albans and Luton, the area combines village charm with everyday practicality, making it an appealing place to call home.

"We’ve loved the peaceful setting here – it’s what first drew us to the house. This has been such a special place for our family. Over the years, we’ve thoughtfully extended and designed it to create a home that truly works for modern family life, with spaces that flex beautifully between work, relaxation, and entertaining. The views, the natural light, and the tranquility make it a joy to live in every day. With excellent schools nearby and fast links into London, it’s been the perfect blend of countryside calm and commuter convenience."
