This ambitious development on the Bedfordshire/Hertfordshire border is one of the South East’s most desirable places to buy.
With an increasing shortage of available land for housing and pressure from the government to take more care of the environment, making the most of existing space is high on developers’ list of priorities these days. And developments such as Fairfield Park do exactly that.
Fairfield Park is an imaginative project in Arlesey, Bedfordshire, breathing new life into a former Grade II Victorian mental asylum and its 173 acres of grounds. The hospital was closed down in 1999 and became derelict, and is now the centre of a multi-million-pound scheme in which a consortium of builders will provide around 1,000 new homes.
The regeneration aspect of Fairfield Park is not its only attraction. Villages are racing back into fashion, popular with those who are tired of the anonymity of the cities and keen to be part of a community; and this collection of homes is perfect in that respect. Not only does it offer communal space and facilities for all residents, it also offers proximity to excellent transport links so that those who work in the cities can have the best of both worlds.
The setting is fantastic – Fairfield Park is situated in mature parkland just a short drive from the towns of Letchworth and Hitchin, and is only two miles from junction 10 of the A1(M). There is easy access to London via railway stations at Hitchin, Letchworth and Arlesey – all of these stations run regular services to King’s Cross. And for frequent flyers, Luton Airport is just over ten miles away.
Fairfield Park is ideal for families. Educationally, the area is served well with pre-school, nursery, primary and secondary schools in Stotfold, Arlesey, Letchworth and Hitchin, as well as North Herts College, which offers further education opportunities. These nearby towns also offer a wealth of leisure, entertainment and shopping facilities, including cinemas, swimming pools, sports centres, golf courses, restaurants, bars and clubs.
