Set within the peaceful Fernhill Park in Wootton Bridge, this Omar Princess park home offers a compact, easily maintained retreat for the over-55s. Chain-free and offered with allocated parking, the 22 x 20 unit delivers a generous lounge/diner, fitted kitchen, shower room and a bedroom with built-in storage — originally two bedrooms, reconfigured to one for a more open layout.
The home dates from 1988 and shows typical mid-century fittings and wear; it will reward light refurbishment to refresh surfaces and modernise the kitchen and bathroom. Practical benefits include double glazing, a wall-hung boiler, bottled gas and an easily kept garden area, making it low-maintenance for downsizers or those seeking a simple island base.
Important costs and conditions: the property is on a licence with a high ground rent charged every four weeks (£177.64) and a 10% resale fee payable to the park owners on sale. Broadband speeds are slow locally. Buyers should note the park-home size is small (approximately 324 sq ft) and the accommodation suits single occupancy or couples comfortable with compact living.
This home is best for buyers prioritising a quiet, low-upkeep retirement location and willing to invest modestly to update interiors. Its chain-free status and peaceful setting make it straightforward to move into, but factor ongoing park fees and the resale levy into longer-term costs.
