Faulkners Place

Property-seekers on the lookout for a spacious new property that offers more for their money are being urged to visit Taylor Wimpey’s exclusive Faulkners Place development in Harpenden.

This impressive collection of six-bedroom executive houses boasts an appealing setting on the northern fringes of this sought-after town, with attractive parkland and views across Hertfordshire’s glorious countryside on the doorstep.

The expansive scope of these brand new homes makes them ideal for families looking for room to roam – and with prices starting from just £995,000, they offer exceptional value in this in-demand area.

Christine Scarborough, Regional Sales and Marketing Director for Taylor Wimpey, says: “Faulkners Place represents an exceptional opportunity for would-be buyers to secure a contemporary property in this gorgeous Hertfordshire town, that’s just a short hop from London.

“The development contains a fantastic collection of executive homes which boast plenty of flexible space that can be used in different ways to suit the needs of individual buyers, whether they require extra bedrooms or more living space.”

The magnificent six-bedroom ‘Bridgemere’ detached house is priced from £1.1 million and features a contemporary kitchen and spacious living room, both with French doors leading to the private rear garden, plus a separate dining room, a study, a utility room and a guest cloakroom.

Upstairs, the first-floor landing leads to an en-suite master bedroom with its own dressing room, a second en-suite double bedroom, two further bedrooms and a main bathroom.

Two further good-sized bedrooms can be found on the top floor, which could easily be used as games/media or cinema rooms. A shower room completes the top-floor layout, while the property also benefits from a double garage and additional driveway parking.

Alternative six-bedroom designs at Faulkners Place include the ‘Haydock’, priced from £995,000, and the ‘Dewberry’, priced from £1.025 million.

Harpenden may have expanded beyond its rural origins, but this thriving commuter town’s unique blend of period cottages, Victorian properties and open parkland has allowed it to retain a tranquil village atmosphere.

Independent stores, restaurants, cafes and a range of local services can be found in the distinctive and well-appointed high street, while a more extensive selection of amenities is available in nearby Luton and St Albans.

Stretching south for around one mile from the town centre, Harpenden Common is a popular escape for the town’s residents and is home to a golf course, two cricket clubs, a football club, bridleways for horse riding and footpaths. Rothamsted Park, Lydekker Park and Nomansland Common also offer the chance for homeowners to enjoy the fresh air in scenic surroundings close to Faulkners Place.

The exceptional educational opportunities open to children of all ages in Harpenden make it a popular destination for families. Wood End School and St George’s School are both rated outstanding by Ofsted and are within walking distance of the development.

Commuters will appreciate that Hemel Hempstead, Luton, St Albans and Welwyn Garden City are all within easy reach and that the M1 is just four miles away for quick links to the north and to London. Meanwhile, Harpenden railway station offers direct services to London St Pancras in less than 30 minutes.
