Large private garden over 0.3 acres with dining terrace and countryside views
Two designated parking spaces and EV charging point; shared gated driveway
Built 2023 — new construction with contemporary finishes and integrated Miele appliances

Council Tax Band G — relatively high ongoing costs to budget for
Semi-rural location: short drive to rail links but not immediate walkable commute
This contemporary five-bedroom detached house, completed in 2023, is designed for low-running costs and modern family living. Arranged over two stories and spanning c.2,830 sq ft, the home combines generous living spaces, bespoke joinery and a high-spec kitchen with integrated Miele appliances — ideal for day-to-day family life and entertaining. Large south-facing glazing and a first-floor balcony frame far-reaching Chiltern views and flood the principal rooms with natural light.
Environmental performance is a genuine selling point: the property is EPC A, highly insulated and airtight, with an air source heat pump, whole-house underfloor heating, a 5.6kW solar array, green roof and an EV charging point. These features reduce running costs and reflect considered, sustainable design using Passivhaus principles.
Outdoor space and setting suit active family life. The house sits on a large plot of just over 0.3 acres, with a landscaped rear garden, dining terrace and mature planting. Transport links are reasonable for a semi-rural location — Hemel Hempstead station offers services to London Euston (around 27 minutes) — while good local schools and easy access to walking and country pursuits make the location family-friendly.
Practical drawbacks are straightforward: broadband speeds are very slow, and council tax is high (Band G), which will affect monthly bills. The property shares a gated private driveway with four neighbouring homes and provides two designated parking spaces only. Those seeking instant city commuting convenience should note the rural setting requires a short drive to mainline stations and amenities.
