Tucked discreetly behind mature trees, this contemporary four-bedroom detached home (built 2022) sits on a very large, private plot that includes an acre of woodland. The open-plan living space with double-height ceiling and mezzanine forms the home's dramatic centre, with full-height glazing, a balcony overlooking the garden and spacious, light-filled rooms ideal for family life and entertaining.
Designed and constructed to passive-house standards, the property benefits from high insulation, advanced ventilation, LED lighting, water-efficient fixtures, solar panels and an air source heat pump. These features combine to deliver an EPC A rating and energy performance that is expected to produce net annual savings (c. £600+), reducing running costs compared with standard electric-heated homes.
Accommodation includes four sizeable bedrooms each with pleasant outlooks, four bathrooms and a principal suite with walk-in wardrobe, en-suite and direct access to the garden. Practical conveniences include an integrated garage and generous driveway parking for multiple vehicles. Local schools are highly rated and St Albans/Radlett are a short drive away, making this a strong choice for families seeking countryside privacy with good commuter links.
Buyers should note this is a modern, electrically-fuelled home with room heaters and an unspecified electricity tariff; while sustainability features reduce consumption, prospective purchasers should confirm council tax banding and energy tariff details. The contemporary timber-clad exterior and significant glazing require routine maintenance to preserve appearance and performance over time.
