Summary - COTTON SPRING HOUSE FRIENDLESS LANE MARKYATE ST ALBANS AL3 8AF
1 bed 1 bath Land
Freehold 4.19-acre pasture with panoramic Hertfordshire views and no overage.
- Freehold 4.19 acres of pasture with gated road frontage
A rare freehold parcel of 4.19 acres of gently undulating pasture set back from Friendless Lane, offered with direct gated road frontage and vacant possession. The land sits within the Chilterns National Landscape and London Green Belt, enjoying wide open views across Hertfordshire and bordering an equestrian paddock to the west — a straightforward grazing or equestrian holding in a well-regarded rural location.
The plot is well connected for a rural site: under 5 miles to Harpenden and Luton, close to the A5183 and M1, and within easy reach of London St Pancras by rail. The setting between Markyate and Flamstead gives a strong local market for rural uses, and there is no overage or clawback attached to the sale — uncommon in the current market and attractive for purchasers seeking clear title and future flexibility.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints. The site lies in the Green Belt and Chilterns National Landscape, so any change of use or built development would require the appropriate planning permissions and is likely to be constrained. Connectivity is mixed: mobile signal is excellent but broadband speeds are very slow. The land is offered as pasture with existing fencing, hedgerow and mature trees; any significant change of use, infrastructure improvements or development will need investment and planning approval.
This holding will suit purchasers seeking a secure grazing paddock, equestrian use, or a long-term land investment benefiting from limited local supply. It is especially relevant to buyers prioritising location, landscape and ownership certainty (no overage). Those seeking immediate development potential should factor in strict planning controls and the likely need for professional advice.
