Situation
Kinsbourne Green is located on the north side of Harpenden and is located within a short drive of Junction 9 of the M1 and Harpenden Town Centre.
Harpenden itself is well known for its excellent choice of schools, sports and social facilities, including several challenging golf courses, sports centre, swimming pool, various clubs and a comprehensive range of fine restaurants and bars. The town itself benefits from a mainline train service into St Pancras International, the City, Gatwick Airport and beyond, to Brighton.
Additional Information
Historical records enable individual occupants of Lady Bray Farm and House (originally known as Poplars Farm) to be traced, with certainty back to 1753. Prior to this date the records are incomplete. Recent history shows that the farm and buildings were purchased in the 1930s by Greens Brewery of Luton.
During the 1940s considerable stabling was built to house the shire horses that were used by the brewery. A barn and workshops were also added to maintain the brewery drays. Greens Brewery were taken over by Whitbreads who subsequently sold the farm by auction to H C Beale Esq in 1961. The present owners purchased the property in 1996 and have completely modernised and redeveloped the property, the barns to the rear have now been converted into another dwelling which is now occupied.
