Holly Lane is a semi rural location on the edge of Harpenden, less than 3 miles from Harpenden Station. The grounds of Orinda are a key feature of the property and extend to about 3.2 acres, with farmland and countryside surrounding the plot. The house is set back from the road behind a lawned front garden with a driveway sweeping round and leading to a detached double garage and a 39 ft barn. To the rear of the property there is a patio and pond that leads to a substantial lawn area well screened by trees and hedging to its flanks. Beyond the lawn area there is a meadow. There are lovely views from the rear of the property over the gardens to farmland beyond, which would be even easier to appreciate by the addition of an additional floor in line with the planning permission granted.
