An exclusive collection of three detached homes set in a private gated development on the edge of Harpenden, Lady Bray Farm offers spacious, energy-efficient living on large private plots. The house is a contemporary four-bedroom detached home (circa 2,121 sq ft) built in 2021, with open-plan oak-beamed living spaces, high-spec finishes and smart-home options suited to modern family life.
Designed with low heat-loss construction, underfloor heating and an air-source heat pump, the property balances countryside calm with efficient running costs. Generous gardens (approximately 0.3 acre), a double oak-framed car port and private driveway create a secure, attractive setting with wide views across the Hertfordshire greenbelt. The layout provides principal suite privacy with en-suite and dressing area, plus flexible reception space for family living or home working.
Practical considerations are stated plainly: this is a freehold new build completed in 2021 with electric main fuel and an unspecified tariff, so buyers should check projected electricity costs. Council tax is described as quite expensive. The site is in the greenbelt, which protects the rural setting but will restrict major changes or extensions.
Positioned a short drive from Harpenden town centre, the home benefits from outstanding local schools, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — attractive to commuting professionals and growing families who want countryside living within easy reach of London links.
