ST ALBANS
Retirement Living with Character.
Inspired by St Albans
At Elysian, we believe retirement should be a time of freedom, fulfilment, and ease. The Oakleigh, located close to the city of St Albans, offers a lifestyle at one with nature, complemented by services spanning security, dining, and wellness. Set within thirteen acres of natural woodland and rich wildlife, the development features a collection of architecturally designed apartments and cottages, carefully positioned to maximise connection to the surrounding landscape.
Opening this year, The Oakleigh is expertly designed to support independent retirement living while delivering the comfort and refinement of an elevated country lifestyle. The first phase of apartments and cottages are now available to purchase. To find out more, register your interest or visit our show cottages at The Oakleigh, N Orbital Rd, St Albans AL2 2DS
The Grounds
Thirteen acres of private estate
One and two-bedroom apartments feature open-plan layouts, large windows and views across gardens and woodland. Bespoke kitchens, private balconies or terraces and step-free access throughout.
The Apartments
Light, space and considered detail
The Oakleigh apartments offer refined, low-maintenance living with open-plan layouts, bespoke kitchens, and natural light-filled interiors. Each home includes private outdoor space, step-free access, and elegant finishes, combining comfort, practicality, and a strong connection to nature.
The Cottages
The privacy of your own home
Two and three-bedroom cottages sit along quiet pathways near the woodland edge, each with a private garden, underfloor heating and parking. The full estate is just moments away.
The Clubhouse
Restaurant, bar, café & wine room
A restaurant, bar, garden café, wine room and snug, open to residents and their guests, as formal or relaxed as the occasion demands.
Woodland & Walking
Ancient Woodland on your doorstep
The estate borders a native woodland, with flat accessible pathways through wild meadows and quiet clearings. Historic bridleways beyond the boundary open up for longer walks
Wellness & Creativity
Gym, yoga, studio & library
Access to a gym, yoga studio and treatment rooms alongside a dedicated art studio and library. Each space considered as carefully as our homes.
Architecture

The Oakleigh is inspired by centuries of countryside living. The architecture draws on a rural building tradition — brick, tile and timber — chosen to sit naturally within the Hertfordshire landscape.
