This compact two-bedroom (one currently used as an office) park home sits on a quiet rural caravan site and offers genuinely low running costs thanks to a bespoke solar PV system with lithium battery storage and EV charging. Fully rebuilt in 2024/25, it has a new insulated roof, integrated LPG combi boiler, air conditioning, and modern fittings throughout. Pets are permitted and there is off-street parking.
The property is best suited to downsizers or buyers seeking low-energy, low-bills living in a peaceful hamlet setting. The internal footprint is small (33 m² / 355 sq ft) so rooms are cosy; the layout is linear and efficient. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, reflecting the isolated rural location.
A significant practical constraint is the short remaining lease: approximately 12 years left. This will likely deter many mortgage lenders and may restrict resale options. The annual site charge is £1,500, which does include all water and drainage usage but should be factored into running costs. Buyers need to be proceedable and comfortable with leasehold park-home ownership on a limited-term licence.
If you prioritise modern, self-sufficient living and can accept the lease and size limitations, this turnkey unit offers a rare, energy-independent lifestyle with contemporary finishes and immediate occupancy potential.
