Goffs Oak

Goffs Oak feels like a proper village that happens to be inside the M25 commuter belt. There's a green, a primary school, a pub, and a handful of shops along Goffs Lane. Housing is mostly postwar semis and detached houses from the 1950s through 1970s, with some larger plots on the quieter roads. It sits between Cheshunt and Cuffley, so you have the choice of Greater Anglia into Liverpool Street from either. Families like it because it's quiet and self-contained without being completely isolated. It costs more than Cheshunt proper, which tells you something about the trade-off people are willing to make for a village feel over convenience.
