The garden being about half an acre has been thoughtfully designed with a generous patio, lawn, mature shrubs and trees. With the apple trees producing good quality juice which can be pressed nearby.
Northaw looks as if it’s out in the depths of the countryside thanks to the setting that has been created for this little oasis. Yet, it’s so accessible for London, with overground transport from Potters Bar station (2 miles) offering excellent links into Moorgate, London Kings Cross and Finsbury Park, with Cuffley overground (2.9 miles) providing access into Liverpool Street station.
