Location:

Elliswick, Browning and Connaught Roads form "The Elliswick Estate" which was sold to Jarvis in 1923. This land had previously been two arable fields known as "Ellis Wick" and "Verman Sands" with a combined area of 18 acres, which had for many years belonged to the Pym family. Less than half a mile to Harpenden's mainline station providing access to Kings Cross St Pancras in less than 30 minutes, this is an exceptionally quiet neighbourhood. The home is also ideally located for Harpenden's abundant riches for schooling, Sir John Lawes Secondary School, Manland JMI and Crabtree are both within a few minutes walk of the house and St Georges is also within a short stroll. The open spaces of the Lea valley nature reserve are close by with a fine park and charming walks down both the river and the public footpath that was once the Swan Line railway. A wonderful setting for family life!
