Borehamwood is one of Hertfordshire's most active and well-connected residential towns, sitting in the WD6 postcode at the southern edge of Hertfordshire close to the M25 and North Circular. Known for its thriving film and television industry — home to Elstree Studios — Borehamwood has undergone significant residential development over recent decades and has consistently strong demand for new family housing. The town offers excellent transport links to central London via Thameslink and easy access to the M1 and M25, making it an attractive location for London families seeking more space. LCCL Construction has delivered projects across Borehamwood for over 20 years and delivers new build houses in WD6 as part of our complete design and build service.
New Build Opportunities in Borehamwood WD6
Borehamwood offers a range of new build plot opportunities across its residential areas. Garden plot developments are the most common opportunity — properties in Borehamwood often have generous rear gardens where a new detached house can be built subject to planning permission. Infill plots between existing properties occasionally come to market in established streets. Replacement dwellings — demolishing older properties and building larger modern replacements — are increasingly popular in areas like Elstree, Shenley Road and Manor Way where post-war properties sit on good-sized plots.
