Kentish Lane, Brookmans Park, Hatfield, AL9
Property Summary
Approached through double electric gates and along a gravelled drive, Woodhill House occupies a genuinely rare position on Kentish Lane, wrapped in open Hertfordshire countryside with green belt on every side. A Grade II Listed Georgian residence dating to 1753, it is a home of a kind that reaches the open market only seldom. Not for its scale alone, but for the way it lives.

A Rare Georgian Trophy Home, Set Behind Gates in Hertfordshire Countryside
Some homes you sell. This one you simply introduce.
Woodhill House dates back to 1753 and stands as one of the most architecturally significant residences on Kentish Lane — a private wing of a Grade II Listed Georgian mansion, hidden behind double electric gates and wrapped in open Hertfordshire countryside. From the moment you sweep up the gravelled drive, past manicured lawns and spiral topiary, it's clear this isn't a house that comes to market often.
Step inside and the scale is immediate: a sweeping curved staircase rises beneath an oval domed lantern roof, flooding the hallway with natural light — a feature more commonly associated with grand country estates than family homes. High ceilings, intricate cornicing and striking period fireplaces run throughout, balanced by a level of modernisation that makes the whole house genuinely liveable, not just admirable.
The reception rooms are built for entertaining, whether that's a quiet Sunday lunch or a summer party spilling out onto the terrace and pool. Upstairs, six generously sized bedrooms include a principal suite most homes twice the price would envy — a 19.5' x 15' dressing room, full fitted wardrobes and a sleek contemporary en suite. Four bedrooms in total enjoy en suite bathrooms, with two further bedrooms on a separate floor sharing a beautifully appointed family bathroom — ideal for guests, family, or staff accommodation.
Outside, the gardens have been landscaped around a private outdoor swimming pool and pool house, with a large double garage and EV charging completing the picture. Greenbelt views surround the plot on every side.
This is countryside living, ten minutes from the M25, with direct trains from Brookmans Park and Potters Bar into London King's Cross and Moorgate in around 30 minutes — and some of Hertfordshire's most sought-after schools, including Stormont, Lochinver, Haileybury and Queenswood, all within easy reach.
Properties of this calibre on Kentish Lane rarely last long on the open market. Early viewing is strongly recommended.
