GREAT BRITISH LIFE
For nearly 40 years we’ve been creating award-winning communities in some of the most desirable locations in southern England.
From newly built to meticulously restored properties, each beautifully proportioned Beechcroft home is crafted to the highest quality standards, featuring the finest fixtures and fittings. These homes are as smart as they are stylish, with built-in energy efficiency features delivering significant savings on running costs.
Each home has a private terrace, garden or balcony, surrounded by exquisitely landscaped grounds. You can also look forward to like-minded neighbours and low-maintenance living – freeing you up to do more of the things you love.
With its stunning countryside, idyllic villages and vibrant market towns, your family and friends will love visiting Hertfordshire as much as you love living there.
Harpenden is set in a dip of the beautiful Chiltern Hills, so you’ll have great walking, cycling and outdoor sports on your doorstep. Nearby must-visits include Heartwood Forest, a vast new forest and wildlife haven with more than half a million trees, spectacular bluebell carpets and wildflower meadows.
The cathedral city of St Albans is a treasure trove of historic sites and cultural attractions, along with the best choice of shops and restaurants in the county. There’s something for all the family at Knebworth House, famous for its lovingly preserved 500-year-old rooms, life-size dinosaur trail and legendary open-air concerts. And the pretty village of Wheathampsted is one of the most picturesque you’ll find.
‘I’m going to the village’ is a phrase you’re likely to hear when heading into Harpenden. While this vibrant market town offers some of the finest shopping and dining outside of London, it has the feel of a quintessentially English village.
The timeless town centre is home to an exceptional selection of shops and places to eat and drink. Premium national names including Space NK, Waitrose, Caffé Nero and The Giggling Squid sit happily alongside celebrated independents like Handmade in Harpenden, Vinsanto and The Inn on the Green. From the perfume counter to the Post Office counter, fashion finds to pharmacy essentials, everything you need is handily right here.
Take a stroll along the tree-lined high street, with its beautifully preserved buildings and shop fronts. Treat yourself to some retail therapy, have a leisurely latte, and walk among the wildflowers on Harpenden’s award-winning common, which stretches out from the heart of the town to the beautiful surrounding countryside.
Sports, culture, nature, community – Harpenden has it all.
In Rothamsted Park, with its stunning tree-lined avenues, you can have a game of tennis or cricket, and take a dip in the indoor or outdoor pool. You’ll find state-of-the-art fitness facilities and classes at the town’s new leisure centre, and Harpenden Common Golf Club, one of three in the town, is close by.
The common is the beautiful backdrop to all-year-round community events from art exhibitions to classic car gatherings. The heart of the town hosts carnivals, street food festivals and monthly farmers’ markets, with theatre, music and film at Harpenden Public Halls.
Just south of Harpenden is the green expanse of Nomansland Common, a favourite with dog walkers and horse riders. Take the family to nearby Lydekker Park to feed the ducks or enjoy a summer concert. And if you feel like a long walk or cycle, Batford Springs Nature Reserve is a riverside haven of peace and tranquillity.

From saving you money on bills to lightening the maintenance load, we go the extra mile to build peace of mind into our homes and communities. Here’s a bit more about some of the benefits you can look forward to.
Energy efficiency
With your new Beechcroft home comes a vibrant new community full of like-minded people. From bridge nights to garden parties, a round of golf to a chat over coffee, you’ll have lots of opportunities to enjoy the things you love with the new friends you’ll make.
Safety and security
All Beechcroft homes are protected by a 10-year warranty which is issued when building is complete. Most apartments have an video door entry system, and all windows have locks. Mains-powered smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are fitted in every home, as are security alarms, with emergency call buttons in bedroom 1 and by front doors.
Estate management
Employed by the Beechcroft Foundation, our friendly estate managers take care of everyday maintenance and keep a neighbourly eye on homes when owners are away. Apartments are sold on a long lease, houses are freehold, and there is no ground rent payable. All properties can be bought and sold on the open market with no exit fees.
Pet friendly
One of the questions we get asked most often is ‘Can I bring my pet?’ The answer is, of course – pets are beloved companions and part of the family. Many of our homes come with private gardens or terraces, and all our communities are located close to parks and open spaces where dogs can be walked.
