Dark Lane, Cheshunt
Wolsey Manor is a residential development on Dark Lane in Cheshunt, Hertfordshire, delivered by Chalkdene Developments as part of a wider programme to address local housing need. The scheme provides 50 new one-, two-, three- and four-bedroom homes across a mix of market sale, shared ownership and general needs rent, establishing a balanced tenure that supports a diverse and inclusive community.
The site layout is structured around a series of two-storey houses, with a principal perimeter block to the north complemented by additional homes to the north and east, creating a coherent and legible street scene. To the south, the development transitions into a cul-de-sac arrangement, reinforcing a quieter residential character. A brook and pedestrian footpath run east–west through the site, forming a distinctive landscape corridor and establishing a high-quality, characterful public realm at its core. Movement within the development is organised around a circular route designed predominantly as a shared surface, prioritising pedestrian activity and fostering a calm, low-traffic environment with the character of a rural lane rather than a conventional urban street
