A rare opportunity to purchase a single-storey house on the Grade II-listed Cockaigne Housing Group development in Hatfield, Hertfordshire. The house that is being offered for sale, which benefits from 4 bedrooms, enclosed courtyards and a private garden, is one of the largest of the twenty-eight terraced houses. The house has been extensively renovated and is in good condition throughout.

Renowned as one of the finest post-war private housing schemes in Britain, the Cockaigne Housing Group has been described by English Heritage as “the leading English manifestation of the courtyard house”.

 Designed by architects Peter Phippen, Peter Randall and David Parkes, these exceptional houses were built in the mid-1960s.

Owners of Cockaigne houses have a share of extensive communal gardens (the site is 2.8acres in total), a tennis court, a secure children’s play area and a community house with a self-contained guest flat.

The house is close to a number of good schools and to the historic site of Hatfield House and Gardens. The shops of Welwyn Garden City are short drive away and Hatfield railway station can be reached on foot in ten minutes. Trains run from Hatfield direct to London King’s Cross (approximately 25 minutes) and London Moorgate (approximately 30 minutes).

There are over 900 years left on the 999 year lease. Combined ground rent to the local authority and management charges amount to approximately £550 per year.
