Large, gated garden apartment with private entrance and three parking spaces.
Ground-floor two-bedroom garden apartment with private entrance
A rare ground-floor garden apartment in a gated, mock‑Tudor development, Dormers Lodge offers generous space and private outdoor living in Hadley Wood. The apartment has its own entrance, three private parking spaces and direct access to a large south/west facing paved patio that adjoins well‑kept communal landscaping — ideal for relaxed outdoor living and easy entertaining.
Internally the layout is roomy and well presented: a wide entrance hall with oak panelling and parquet floors leads to a solid‑wood kitchen with integrated NEFF appliances and granite surfaces, and a large lounge/dining room with fitted cabinetry and French doors onto the patio. The principal bedroom includes extensive fitted wardrobes and an ensuite with roll‑top bath and rainfall shower; a second double bedroom also benefits from fitted storage. Practical extras include three hall cupboards and a guest shower/WC.
The development is small (eight apartments) and approached via electric gated entrances with a carriageway driveway, framed by mature planting for added privacy. Transport links are strong — about 0.6 miles to Cockfosters tube (Piccadilly) — and Trent Park, local shops and restaurants are all within walking distance, which suits downsizers wanting low‑maintenance living but good local amenities.
Important practical points: broadband speeds are reported as very slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Tenure is a long Share of Freehold (extensive lease term remaining). The apartment was built in the early 2000s and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators.
