Hertfordshire is well known for its green countryside. The rolling hills, woodlands, and farmland are all protected by the Green Belt providing the perfect backdrop to popular homeowner destinations such as St Albans, Harpenden, Hitchin, Ware, Knebworth, and Hertford. All of these towns offer incredibly convenient train links to the capital ranging from 20-50min journeys.
This county’s proximity to London makes it a popular choice for house hunters. Well-established towns sit alongside quaint rural villages offering potential homeowners a variety of property types and settings from modern developments to converted farm buildings and historic cottages.
Watford is one of the biggest cities in the county. As a result, it has several industrial areas and business parks as well as plenty of schools for people looking to advance their careers and raise families in this historic home county. Luton Airport and Stansted Airport are in nearby Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire respectively, giving Hertfordshire residents easy connection links to local and international flights.
Hertfordshire also has a buzzing community feel with villages offering residents access to interesting independent shops, galleries, museums, quaint pubs, and a range of festivals, markets, and events every year. Hertford itself is a popular destination with great schools, green spaces and a thriving local economy. For a more historic urban setting, Harpenden’s Elizabethan and Jacobean properties offer convenient access to the M1 and A1(M), as well as trains to London Blackfriars.
