The Walled Gardens, Potters Bar EN6

Introducing The Walled Garden at Northaw House – a truly unique opportunity to acquire one of just two newly built, design-led lateral residences, named Silverwood and Mulberry. These exceptional four-five bedroom luxury homes are set within a secure, prestigious gated enclave of only three properties, surrounded by 30 acres of magnificent private parkland in the desirable village of Northaw, Hertfordshire. With an uncompromising focus on design, quality and liveability, these homes perfectly blend classical architectural references with contemporary interiors, high-specification materials, and the latest in smart home technology.

Silverwood and Mulberry each offer around 3,840 sq ft of meticulously planned lateral accommodation, including four double bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study, a vast open-plan kitchen/living/dining room, and an integrated double garage. The internal layout has been carefully considered to offer both openness and separation, ideal for modern family life or sophisticated entertaining. Each home also includes a beautifully landscaped, south-facing private garden and an internal courtyard, with total plot sizes reaching over 8,400 sq ft.

On entering the homes, the quality of finish is immediately apparent. Large-format Amtico flooring with underfloor heating flows throughout the ground floor, setting a contemporary tone. The show-stopping kitchen is finished with a bespoke combination of handleless, soft-touch matt lacquered doors in tones of taupe, graphite and putty concrete grey, paired with 20mm Ilaliana Virgo/Marmorea Golden stone worktops and full-height splashbacks for a seamless finish. The central island is not only a stylish focal point but highly functional, with ample workspace and casual seating. A smoked mirror glass splashback adds depth and glamour, while integrated premium appliances include a Miele Pureline combination microwave oven and single oven in clean steel, a bora X Pure surface induction cooktop with built-in extraction, Siemens IQ500 built-in fridge and freezer, a fully integrated dishwasher and a Siemens built-in wine cabinet with glass door and black bar handle. A Quooker PRO3 boiling water tap adds further convenience, set above a Blanco Und Subline Silgranit sink in crisp white.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a discreet walk-in pantry finished to the same high standard, featuring matching cabinetry and a robust 40mm laminate worktop in putty concrete grey, with smoked mirror splashback – ideal for additional prep space and concealed storage. The vast open-plan living and dining area opens fully onto the sun-soaked south-facing terrace and garden via full-height sliding doors, allowing for an effortless connection between indoors and out. A separate study or snug at the front of the home provides flexibility for home working or more private relaxation.

A bespoke staircase with minimalist balustrade leads down to the lower ground floor, where the sleeping quarters are located. The principal suite is a standout, comprising a bedroom of grand proportions, a luxurious walk-in dressing room, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom. The bathrooms throughout these homes feature contemporary sanitaryware and brushed brassware by Bagno Design, with large-format porcelain tiling to floors and full-height walls. Vanity units are integrated beneath wall-mounted basins (including a twin basin setup in the principal en-suite), and all showers feature thermostatically controlled exposed valves with fixed riser heads and separate hand showers. Finishing touches include soft-close toilet seats, heated towel rails, LED-lit demister mirrors and sleek shaver sockets.

Bedrooms two and three are both generously proportioned, fitted with bespoke wardrobes and served by their own en-suites or a beautifully appointed family bathroom, also fully tiled with premium fittings. Bedroom four provides ideal flexibility as a guest suite, additional study, or dressing room. A secluded internal courtyard accessed from the lower ground level brings in natural light and creates a tranquil, private retreat.

Each property benefits from an integrated double garage with electric door and internal access, a fitted utility room with contemporary lacquered cabinetry, quartz worktops, undermounted sink, and brushed steel tap. The homes also include a full suite of smart technology, including Control4 centralised lighting and audio, ceiling-mounted Episode Signature speakers in key zones, provisions for automated curtains, infrastructure-ready Sky Q connectivity, a full fibre BT connection capable of up to 900MB, hard-wired security alarm, and Comelit video entry system linked to the main gates.

Externally, the properties enjoy extensive, private, south-facing gardens enclosed by original brick walls, providing both beauty and privacy. These are ideal for summer entertaining, quiet reflection, or family play. The outlook is peaceful and green, with the estate itself offering 30 acres of beautifully maintained grounds for residents’ enjoyment.
