Nestled in a charming village surrounded by countryside in rural Hertfordshire, yet with plentiful amenities close by and excellent transport links to nearby towns and cities, Birch Way Fields offers a lifestyle to aspire to.
Here you will find our exclusive collection of eco electric 3, 4 & 5 bedroom homes. Each one offers superb, future-ready features, like air source heat pumps, thicker insultation and underfloor heating to the ground floor. So there’s already plenty to enjoy. Plus, you’ll be living on the edge of Barkway, a pretty village in one of South East England’s most desirable areas. With everything you would expect of a well-appointed village, from a shop and pub to a church, school and community centre.
And if you’re looking for an even greater selection of amenities close to these new homes, Royston, Hertfordshire is just a 10-minute drive, with an array of high street name retailers and an eclectic mix of pubs, cafés and restaurants.
Parents will also be pleased to find a range of schools in the surrounding area for youngsters of all ages. Barkway Preschool is in the village, along with Barkway First School, rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted. For older students, King James Academy Royston is just a 12-minute drive and is also rated ‘Good’ by Ofsted.

Golfers, meanwhile, can enjoy a round or two at Royston Golf Club. For family days out, Shepreth Wildlife Park, with its huge number of animals and birds to meet, is a popular choice, while the Royston Cave, a cave discovered in 1742 and featuring storied stone carvings, is also well worth a visit.
While Birch Way Fields is set in idyllic rural surroundings, it enjoys excellent transport connections.
