Village Sign, London Colney.
by Christine Matthews
London Colney, a vibrant village in Hertfordshire, offers a diverse range of properties, from traditional cottages and period homes to modern houses and new developments. The older properties, particularly those in the heart of the village or along its quiet residential streets, often retain charming period features but may require maintenance, such as restoring original details, addressing aging roof structures, or upgrading plumbing and electrical systems. Newer homes in London Colney, while typically built with modern amenities, still benefit from a thorough survey to ensure they meet current building standards and are in optimal condition.
Conveniently located near St Albans and with excellent transport links to London via the M25 and local rail stations, London Colney offers the perfect balance of village living and easy access to the capital.
