Location
Borehamwood is a popular commuter town in Hertfordshire, situated 10 miles northwest of central London, just south of the M25 and between the M1 and A1, with excellent connectivity to both London and surrounding areas.

The property is conveniently situated close to a range of local amenities. Borehamwood Shopping Park, located to the east, offers a variety of large retail stores, including M&S and Next, providing a range of shopping options.

Shenley Road, just a short walk from the property, features various restaurants, cafes, shops, and other services.
Nearby amenities include: Sainsbury’s Local, Starbucks, Nando’s, Holland & Barrett A cinema, among others.

The residential market in Borehamwood is underpinned by its excellent travel links into Central London and the wider southeast.

The area is serviced by regular rail services via Thameslink. The property is only a 5-minute walk from Elstree & Borehamwood Station, with a 23-minute journey to King’s Cross Station.

The area also benefits from its strong employment base, including large film and TV studios: Sky Studios Elstree officially opened in March 2023. The state-of-the-art facility has 13 stages across 27.5 acres and is used for Sky Originals and major film productions from NBCUniversal. Sky is planning to extend its campus by developing “Elstree North”, which would create 2,000 jobs on a 26-acre site.
