Destination Essendon A collection of just four apartments and eight mews houses in a unique country estate setting by award-winning developer Millgate Homes is perfectly placed to enjoy the high life. Despite being surrounded by breathtaking countryside, The Courtyard at Essendon Park, Herts lies just 20 miles north of the square mile, and is perfectly placed to meet all that busy modern lifestyles demand.

First rate links to London and beyond lie minutes from the estate, while the train stations of Potters Bar, Brookmans Park and Bayford, all within a short distance, offer regular fast trains into King’s Cross and Moorgate – perfect for work, shopping or a night out. Essendon Park is also well placed for Luton, Stansted and Heathrow airports, making the development a good choice for those who wish to spend time travelling or at homes abroad.

In the local area, there are numerous pretty villages such as Essendon and Little Berkhamsted, all offering plenty of quintessentially English charm and popular country pubs. Meanwhile the towns of Hatfield, Hertford and Barnet all have an eclectic range of eateries, bars and boutiques. The area is also home to some excellent schools, including Lochinver in Potters Bar, Queenswood in Brookmans Park, Haileybury in Hertford and St Edmund’s College in Ware.

Golf enthusiasts are well catered for – the two challenging courses of the Hatfield London Country Club that surround the estate are literally on the doorstep, and residents benefit from a year’s playing membership upon purchasing an apartment, and the championship facilities of the Hanbury Manor Hotel and Country Club are a short distance up the A10.

In addition to golfing facilities, residents of the gated development will enjoy extensive grounds, beautifully designed by Millgate Homes Chelsea gold medal award winning landscaper. A tennis court is available for resident’s use, and a concierge will be on hand to make everyday life as simple as possible, taking care of everything from receiving deliveries to sourcing specialist staff such as gardeners, chauffeurs and cleaners, and discreetly checking the security of the private homes and estate grounds.

Three of the properties at ‘The Courtyard’ have already sold off plan, with prices for the remaining properties ranging from £675,000 - £850,000. For further information, visit essendonpark.co.uk.
