3 bed 2 bath Lodge
Exclusive lakeside retreat ideal for holiday stays and short-term lets.
3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms in a contemporary open-plan 900 sqft lodge
Gated 20-acre village with private boating lake and leisure facilities
Mains gas and CAT 6 wiring installed for modern convenience
Leasehold with only 40 years remaining — lenders may refuse mortgages
High annual service charge £9,500 — significant ongoing cost

New-build finish and low-maintenance exterior timber cladding
Excellent mobile signal and low local crime in an affluent setting
This three-bedroom, two-bath lodge sits within an exclusive gated estate on 20 acres, offering a high-spec, new-build holiday home with open-plan living and large windows that maximise natural light. The property is appointed with mains gas and CAT 6 wiring, and includes access to on-site leisure facilities and a private boating lake — a strong lifestyle draw for weekend breaks and holiday rental use.
At around 900 sq ft, the layout balances practical family sleeping space with a contemporary living/kitchen area and wraparound decking potential. The setting is tranquil and affluent, with low crime, excellent mobile signal and easy access to local amenities including cafés, takeaway options and a sports centre — useful whether occupying personally or letting short-term.
Buyers must be clear this is a leasehold holiday lodge with only 40 years remaining on the lease. That short term may restrict mortgage options and reduce resale appeal; many mainstream lenders can refuse lending on short leases. There is also a high annual service charge (£9,500) which covers communal upkeep and facilities but materially increases running costs.
Practical drawbacks include very slow broadband speeds on site despite CAT 6 wiring in the home, and the property’s intended non-residential/holiday use which limits permanent living. For a buyer seeking low-maintenance leisure living or a premium holiday-let position within a gated lakeside village, this lodge offers immediate lifestyle benefits — but it carries clear tenure and cost considerations that should be factored into purchase and financing decisions.
