Plot 2 at Barley Mews is a newly built three-bedroom detached home arranged over multiple floors, finished to a high specification and designed for modern family living. The 1,345 sq ft layout includes a large open-plan kitchen/dining/family room with triple access to the rear garden, a separate lounge and study, and three bedrooms served by three bathrooms. High-quality touches include shaker-style kitchens with Quartz worktops, a Quooker filtered hot tap, 5-ring induction hob, integrated appliances, underfloor heating to the ground floor, wooden flooring and fitted wardrobes to all bedrooms.
The development sits in a private, gated enclave on the edge of St Albans, surrounded by open countryside and well-connected for commuters: St Albans City rail links reach central London in under 30 minutes and major roads (A414, A1(M), M25) are easily accessible. The location pairs rural walks and leisure amenities with the shops, schools and restaurants of St Albans. Off-street parking is provided for at least two cars and the property comes with a 10-year ICW new-build warranty.
Notable practical points: the plot is described as small, so outdoor space is modest compared with larger detached plots; the brochure notes internal images are from a previous development and are for guidance only. This home will suit families wanting low-maintenance, high-spec new build living close to countryside and excellent commuter links, but buyers who prioritise a large private garden should note the limited plot size.
A show-home launch and stamp duty contribution are highlighted in the brochure, which may be useful incentives for early purchasers. Buyers should check the final finishes and room layouts at the show home and verify any developer terms before reservation.
