This two-bedroom terraced cottage in Cedars Village offers a comfortable, low-maintenance retirement home with private outdoor space and generous communal facilities. The layout includes an entrance hall, sitting/dining room with conservatory, fitted kitchen, downstairs cloakroom, principal bedroom with en‑suite, second bedroom and family bathroom — practical spaces arranged over one main floor with a compact footprint (approximately 848 sq ft).
Cedars Village sits within 22 acres of landscaped grounds opposite Chorleywood Common and centres on a Grade II listed Mansion House with on-site restaurant, library, convenience store and wellbeing hub. Residents benefit from security, a visiting GP, daily communal services (including one hour’s domestic cleaning and linen laundering), and professionally maintained grounds that support an active social lifestyle.
Important costs and conditions are clear: the property is leasehold with a 999-year lease from November 2023 and no ground rent, but a substantial annual management fee of £8,672.68 applies. There is also an event fee payable on resale (rising to 20% after four years) and a high Council Tax Band F — factors that materially affect running costs and resale proceeds.
This home is well suited to purchasers seeking independence within a managed retirement community who value on-site amenities and a private patio. It will particularly appeal to those prioritising convenience and communal support, but buyers should budget for the service charge, event fee on future sale, and Council Tax when assessing overall affordability.
