Colney Manor

Village-Setting Family Housing, Colney Heath, AL4

Colney Manor- A scheme by Taylor Wimpey. The development consists of 100 brand new houses plus 10 self-build plots, featuring three, four, and five-bedroom homes. Located some three miles from St Albans, the scheme seeks to combine a village character with access to wider commuter networks. Welham Green station is approximately 2.6 kilometres away, affording rail access to London King's Cross, facilitating commutes for those working in the capital.

Designed to adapt to modern standards of living and harmonize with the native landscape, the houses are laid out over two storeys. The development at Colney Manor is sold as part of a low-density residential area, the green environment and existing infrastructure of village life bringing about long-term performance stability. Self-build plots add an extra layer of flexibility to the masterplan, allowing for tailored residential design within a formalised community structure.

Residential Specification and Energy Efficiency

The proposal features reasonable internal layouts in configurations of three to five bedrooms, with floor areas from about 972 square metres for certain house types and up to 1,581 square metres for larger dwellings. Prices start at £585,000 for three-bedroom houses, with a four-bedroom home from £775,000 and a five-bedroom residence starting at £825,000 (reflective of different scale and specification). The homes are configured for functional family living with private outdoor space and delineated social areas.

A fundamental part of the specification is based on energy performance. Each home has triple glazing and photovoltaic solar panels included as standard for lower utility costs and better environmental performance. Data down to the type of schools a postcode has is incredibly useful for a buyer analysing formality in suburban property in Hertfordshire, as it allows a thorough exploitation of lifestyle and long-term operational efficiency.
