Doone Brae is a contemporary detached bungalow set on a very large plot in Pepperstock, offering uninterrupted south-facing countryside views and substantial indoor space (about 2,220 sq ft). The home is a new build with a high specification finish, designed for single-level living and convenience: three double bedrooms each with en-suite facilities, an expansive open-plan living area, and an attached garage with EV charging. Energy-efficient features include a sedum roof and modern construction backed by a 10-year building warranty.
This property suits buyers seeking a private rural retreat without sacrificing connectivity. Harpenden and St Albans are within easy reach for rail links to London; major roads and Luton Airport are nearby. The area is affluent and offers access to a mixture of independent and well-regarded state schools, including Slip End Village School.
Notable practical considerations are stated plainly: broadband speeds are very slow, the location is a hamlet/isolated dwelling so services and shops are limited locally, and recorded local crime is above average. The house is freehold and ready for immediate occupation, but buyers who rely on fast internet or prefer an urban setting should factor those constraints in.
Overall, Doone Brae will appeal to buyers who prioritise single-level, luxury countryside living, strong environmental credentials, and generous outside space. It represents a high-spec new build with modern comforts and clear trade-offs related to remoteness and digital connectivity.
