Highclere House - Welcome to Hatfield - a perfect marriage of old and new, from the charming Old Hatfield village with the splendid grounds and grandeur of Hatfield House - to the modern retail Mecca of The Galleria: a shopper's paradise filled with high-street favourites, designer brands, cafes and restaurants.
With everything you could want right on your doorstep and London only a short-hop away, Hatfield has fast become a highly popular place to live. Our luxury one and two bedroom apartments at Highclere House have been beautifully built and designed for you to get the best out of life.

Local Area - The town of Hatfield easily provides all of life's little necessities - from a wide range of well-known supermarkets, independent shops and high street retailers - to doctors' surgeries, dental practice and post-office. The welcoming Red Lion Pub is just a short stroll from the development and provides some great dining.
But there's far more to Hatfield than its many modern amenities. Old Hatfield was left untouched by any post-war development and still remains a place full of old-world charm and character. The nearby Hatfield House is a magnificent Jacobean mansion with stunning ornamental gardens and splendid grounds. Offering extensive tours of the house and gardens, and has many attractions including a restaurant and café and regular annual community events.
