Hertford

Increasingly well heeled and with a thriving shopping and café scene, Hertford is an up and coming town with a wealth of opportunities on offer. Located just north of London, and being only 40 minutes on the train to connecting London stations, makes Hertford a perfect place to bring up a family and commute into London for work.

Hertford Heath

Hertford’s vibrant ‘little sister’ with a thriving pub scene, nature reserve and great leisure facilities

The great thing about Hertford Heath, which was 2007’s Hertfordshire Village of the Year, is that you get the best of both worlds – the gentle pace, peace and quiet of village life with not one but three historic, bustling market towns within a few minutes’ drive: Hertford, Ware and Hoddesdon. Sitting prettily just a couple of miles from the centre of the County Town of Hertford, it might be peaceful but it’s also buzzing with life.

For a start, its 3000 residents have four pubs to choose from, one of which – The College Arms – is described as a ‘gastro-pub’ and the village is host to a horticultural society, football, cricket and carpet bowls teams as well as an annual firework display and a classic car rally on the village green. It’s even got its own primary school – and for the older children there are excellent state secondaries in Hertford, the nearest being Simon Balle School and Richard Hale School, both of which are 5 minutes’ drive away.

Village life at a gentle pace, with bustling market towns a stone’s throw away

Talking of schools, Hertford Heath boasts a very famous one of its own: Haileybury, a renowned private school for boys and girls originally known as the East India College when it was established in 1808 to train civil servants for the British administration in India. As well as bringing in numerous visitors who enrich the village’s pubs, local stores and social scene, Haileybury makes available some of its first-class facilities to the local community, including a heated indoor swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness suite and squash, badminton and tennis courts.

Added to all these attractions is the fact that, as you can see above, on average Hertford Heath property prices are touch more affordable than those in the county town itself!
