Welcombe House, AL5

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

We are so pleased we moved into our lovely new home here in the centre of Harpenden. We have wonderful views across the Common from most of our windows and from our delightful garden. A two minute walk brings us into the middle of our large village with its cafes, restaurants, shops Spirts Centre and Theatre. A four minute walks brings us to the mainline station providing a fast line into the centre of London. The bus stop for St Albans is just along the road. Luton Airport is twenty five minutes away by taxi. We have an underground parking spot and a private parking bay outside our front door. There are visitor parking places on the development. We are in the village so of course there is traffic noise when sitting in the garden but inside the house, with the windows closed, it is completely quiet. We have lived in different parts of Harpenden for 42 years and have never seen any anti- social behaviour.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Make sure you have the name of a good fitter who can build in wardrobes, shelves etc thereby making the best use of the generous space provided.

The best feature of our home is the comfort and convenience. Our home is warm, very well designed and finished to a very high standard. There is plenty of cupboard space and the rooms are light and bright. The ceilings are high, giving a spacious feel to all the rooms.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The development is perfectly located, close to the high street and the train station which is important if you’re a commuter like myself. I will say, the train line can be very loud, however 99% of the time it is completely silent. Harpenden is a beautiful town with great amenities and nearly everything in complete walking distance. The development is set away far back from the street so there is no traffic noise at all.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Make sure you try to visit during different times of the day because the natural light can make a real difference to the home!

What is the best feature of your home:

The garden/terrace for the apartment, it has been beautifully planted.
