Commendation for the best retirement development
To the manor barn
In the grounds of a manor house to the NW of Hertford is a development of 29 houses and apartments designed for assisted living. Each property has flexible accommodation to fit individual lifestyles and needs, and corridors and hallways have been kept to a minimum to ensure that the maximum amount of space is available for the living areas, so that moving around the property is made easier.
All the properties have the same specifications one expects in a new home specifically designed to maintain
independence. Every property has two bedrooms, one of which can be used as extra living space. There is an openplan living area with a linked kitchen and dining area. A large glazed door opens onto a covered walkway that leads to the courtyard. The bathroom has a walk-in shower and all the homes have underfloor heating. At the back of each home is private patio area or terrace.
A listed barn that lay unused for 20 years has been restored to provide a restaurant, lounge and coffee bar for residents, together with fitness facilities, an activities programme and concierge services. All residents have weekly housekeeping and laundry services, and 24-hour nursing care is provided by trained staff in the Broad Oak Manor care centre.
