Summary - APPLETREE FARMHOUSE, DOG KENNEL LANE, CHORLEYWOOD WD3 5EW
1 bed 1 bath Bungalow
Renovated one-bedroom lodge with garden and village facilities for over-60s.
Detached, single-level retirement lodge with Chorleywood Common views
A fully renovated detached retirement lodge on the perimeter of Cedars Village, Appletree Farmhouse enjoys direct views across Chorleywood Common and a generous wrap-around garden. The single-level layout includes one double bedroom with fitted wardrobes, two reception rooms, a fitted kitchen with appliances and a fully tiled wet room — a practical, low-stairs home designed for independent over-60s living.
The property is offered on a long lease (999 years) and benefits from private off-street allocated parking and full membership of Cedars Village’s communal facilities, including a bistro, library, wellbeing hub and extensive landscaped grounds. Practical services are covered in the management fee: building upkeep, communal utilities, weekly linen and one hour’s domestic cleaning per week.
Important points to note: the building has Grade II listed status, which will restrict alterations and may affect future works. The EPC rating is F. Annual management charges are substantial (£8,672.68 for 2025), and resale is subject to a sliding event fee (up to 20%). Leasehold tenure and listed-status responsibilities mean this property suits buyers who value village lifestyle and communal care rather than those seeking a low-cost, unrestricted renovation project.
In short, this newly renovated detached lodge offers a comfortable, ready-to-live-in retirement home in a very affluent, low-crime area with excellent local amenities. It is best for purchasers prioritising communal services, security and picturesque common-side location, and who accept the financial commitments and listed-building constraints that come with this type of village ownership.
