Peaceful cul-de-sac location, 7 Fairway Close, Harpenden

BEAUTIFULLY FINISHED. 3,311 SQ FT. SOUTH-FACING GARDEN. WEST COMMON.

7 Fairway Close offers more than 3,300 sq ft of beautifully finished family accommodation in one of Harpenden’s most established West Common settings.

Six bedrooms. Three reception spaces. A spectacular open-plan kitchen and family room. A dedicated top-floor suite. Double garage. Private south-facing garden. All tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac between two golf courses.

This is a home where the major work has already been done. The finish is exceptional, the layout is highly flexible and the spaces are designed to work around real family life.

THE HEART OF THE HOUSE

At the centre is a substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and living space designed around everyday family life.

The bespoke shaker kitchen was made by a local cabinet maker, with a walnut island, Neff appliances, professional range cooker, warming drawer, wine fridge and pantry storage.

Across the rear, a full-width frameless roof lantern floods the room with light, while bifold doors open directly onto the south-facing garden.

It gives you the open family space buyers want, without sacrificing the separate rooms that make a larger house work properly.

AND SPACE TO ESCAPE IT

The separate sitting room runs the full depth of the house, with light from both ends, French doors onto the garden and a working stone fireplace.

There is also a dedicated home office and an additional reception room, currently used as a gym, which could work equally well as a playroom, second office, formal dining room or family room.

Add a full utility room and downstairs cloakroom and the ground floor becomes as practical as it is impressive.

SIX BEDROOMS, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, FLEXIBILITY

Rather than simply counting bedrooms, the accommodation at Fairway Close is designed to adapt as family life changes.

The principal bedroom is genuinely substantial: triple-aspect, filled with natural light, with fitted wardrobes and its own travertine en-suite.

There are four further bedrooms across the first floor, allowing for children’s rooms, guests or additional working space.

A FLOOR OF ITS OWN

The second floor creates something quite different.

A generous double bedroom, full bathroom and separate snug form a dedicated top-floor suite.

Teenager wanting independence. Guests staying for a week rather than a night. Au pair. Older child returning home.

It is flexible space that can accommodate several different stages of family life without compromising the rest of the house.

SOUTH-FACING AND PRIVATE

The rear garden faces south and is fully enclosed, with a wide deck directly off the kitchen, lawn, mature specimen planting and a separate terrace for outdoor dining and evenings outside.

There is side access on both sides of the house, a wide driveway and double garage.

WEST COMMON

Fairway Close is a quiet, established cul-de-sac positioned between two golf courses on the West Common side of Harpenden.

The Common, Heartwood Forest, excellent schooling and Harpenden town centre are all within easy reach, while Harpenden station provides direct services into London St Pancras.

It is also a road where houses rarely become available.

ONE TO SEE, RATHER THAN SIMPLY SCROLL PAST

Photographs can show the finish. A floorplan can show 3,311 sq ft.

But what is harder to communicate online is how well the different spaces work together and just how much natural light runs through this house.

If you are looking around the £2.5m Harpenden market, Fairway Close deserves to be seen before you make your decision.
