Chain free retirement cottage in Broad Oak Manor grounds
99 years remaining on lease; property is LEASEHOLD
Grade II listed site — alterations may be restricted or complex

Set within the peaceful grounds of Broad Oak Manor, this well-presented two-bedroom assisted-living end‑of‑terrace offers comfortable, low‑maintenance living for those seeking independence with support on hand. The ground floor has a modern kitchen, cloakroom and a generous sitting/dining room with French doors opening to a sunny private patio and small garden. Upstairs, a fitted stair lift provides easy access to two double bedrooms, a shower room and a useful office/dressing room.
Practical comforts include mains gas boiler with underfloor heating, argon-filled double glazing and an EPC rated B. Residents benefit from communal gardens and use of the Grade II listed Barn — a central social hub with lounge space and organised activities, plus optional care and catering packages tailored to individual needs. Broadband is fast and the setting is rural yet only about a mile from Hertford town centre and its rail links.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold (99 years remaining) and listed status for parts of the site may cause complications for alterations or future works. The development sits in an area classed as deprived with above‑average local crime levels; buyers should factor location context and communal rules into their decision. The house is offered chain free and is aimed at buyers seeking a social, supported retirement setting rather than a full independent single‑family home.
