Colney Heath

Countryside on the label, main roads in the bedroom·Hertfordshire·East of England

Colney Heath is for people who want St Albans and Hatfield within easy driving distance and neither of them on the doorstep. It split from London Colney in 1947 and has spent the decades since making sure nobody confuses the two. Even the windmill has been converted, which is the most Hertfordshire career move available to a windmill. Buyers fall for the heath in the name, then open a bedroom window and meet the main roads.
