Rare Equestrian Opportunity in Prestigious Waterford - A Modern Eco Home with Stables, Land and Breathtaking Views

Escape city life with this luxury new 5-bedroom home set on nearly 2.5 acres. Rarely available on Waterford’s most sought-after road, it offers space for horses and country living just 5 minutes from Hertford Station.

There are properties you view, and there are properties that take your breath away the moment you arrive. The Paddocks belongs firmly in the latter. Set high on Waterford Common, one of Hertfordshire’s most exclusive locations, this newly built four-bedroom residence combines cutting-edge eco design with timeless elegance, all framed by uninterrupted countryside views. For those seeking a home that blends luxury living, outdoor lifestyle, and multi-generational potential within easy reach of London, this is a truly exceptional opportunity.

Luxury Living

From the landscaped driveway with parking for several cars, The Paddocks immediately impresses. The architecture is both striking and enduring, while nearly 2.5 acres of private grounds wrap around the property to create a sense of seclusion and grandeur.

Inside, every detail has been crafted for modern luxury. The grand hallway leads to the heart of the home, a magnificent open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room designed for entertaining and everyday living. Underfloor heating runs throughout the entire home, ensuring year-round comfort and adding a touch of indulgence to every room.

A serene lounge provides the perfect place to relax and generous boot room enhance the practicality of daily life. A further reception space on the ground floor offers flexible living, easily reconfigured as a 5th bedroom, playroom, games room, or self-contained annexe for multi-generational living.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a true retreat, with panoramic views across Waterford Common, a dressing room, and a spa-inspired en suite. Three further double bedrooms, one with its own en suite, all feature fitted wardrobes. Even the landing has been designed with lifestyle in mind, offering a bright corner perfect for a reading nook or home study.

The gardens, landscaped with a Spanish influence, unfold across multiple levels with manicured lawns, terraces, and quiet corners for private reflection or entertaining.

Outdoor Lifestyle

For families and sports enthusiasts, the grounds are as versatile as they are impressive. Alongside secure paddocks, the space includes a 40m x 20m area that can be used as a manège or transformed into a private football pitch, offering year-round leisure and recreation.

The premium Longcross stable block provides three spacious stables with rubber matting and ventilation. An additional stable block/outbuilding offers huge potential, ideal for conversion into an annexe, studio, or independent rental (STPP).

Location – Countryside Prestige with City Access

Waterford offers the best of both worlds: a charming village bordered by rolling countryside and riverside walks, yet just minutes from Hertford’s boutiques, restaurants, and commuter links. London can be reached in around 40 minutes, making The Paddocks ideal for those seeking rural tranquillity without compromise.

Families are exceptionally well served with an outstanding choice of schools: state options include Richard Hale, Presdales, Simon Balle, Bengeo Primary, and St Joseph’s RC Primary, while nearby independents include Haileybury, St Edmund’s College, Heathmount, Duncombe School, and St Joseph’s in the Park.

The Paddocks — A Lifestyle Statement

Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Eco credentials, underfloor heating throughout, multi-generational potential, premium equestrian facilities, landscaped gardens, versatile outbuildings, and one of Hertfordshire’s most prestigious addresses. The Paddocks offers it all.

This is more than a home. It is a lifestyle, an investment, and a statement of elegance. Private viewings are strongly recommended.
