Why move to a new build house in Watford?

Located just beyond the northwest periphery of London, our new homes for sale offer local and national transport links, shopping opportunities, and excellent schools.

Activities

The town's proximity to the capital means that there's no end of leisure activities available when you move into our new homes. Notably, it's home to Watford F.C. and the Warner Bros. Harry Potter Studio Tour, which is a must-visit for fans of the franchise. Those with an interest in local history can take a trip to the Watford Museum, where the heritage centre has a range of art from North European oil paintings to exhibits from the local football club. The Palace Theatre is the only producing theatre in Hertfordshire and offers an extensive selection of family shows, traditional pantomimes, and even world premieres. If you're looking to take in picturesque open spaces, the town boasts 17 parks that have been awarded Green Flag Status. These include Cassiobury Park, a 190-acre park with a miniature railway and tennis courts, and Callowland Recreation Ground.

Education

If you're looking to move your family into one of our new houses for sale, you'll find a number of nearby primary and secondary schools rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' by Ofsted. For further education, you'll find West Herts College located just a 10-minute walk from the town centre. Stanmore College is another great option for young professionals and older children.

Getting around Watford

The town's rail links are a great asset and mean our new build homes are ideally placed for a London commute or leisure trip. There is a mainline station so commuters can get to London Euston in less than 25 minutes or Birmingham New Street in one hour 20 minutes. There's also a Metropolitan Line Tube station that takes you into the City of London. The area is well-connected by the M25 for road travel around the capital's perimeters, the M1 for northern England, and the M4 and M40 for journeys to the West.
