Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This show-stopper of a home is located in leafy Hertfordshire. With an indoor swimming pool, private cinema, and games room, it’s well set up for a group staycation. There are plenty of opportunities to relax here, whether you’re enjoying a soak in the rooftop Jacuzzi or unwinding in the sauna. And fitness fanatics will be pleased to hear that there’s a private gym too. You’d be forgiven for not wanting to leave this gated getaway, but if you feel the need to venture further afield, picturesque St Albans is a twenty-five-minute drive away, and you can be in central London in less than an hour.
