Set within Dollar Lodge Park, this two-bedroom, 640 sqft lodge offers a turnkey holiday-let or countryside bolt-hole. The open-plan living area with integrated kitchen and large windows leads to a private decking area — an easy-to-manage space that will appeal to holidaymakers and weekend visitors.
Practical running costs are clear: average household bills around £1,200 per year and a 24-hour site warden for security and park management. Off-street parking is included, and the lodge’s contemporary finishes make it a low-maintenance option compared with a traditional house.
Important considerations for buyers: the property is leasehold with only 30 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders may refuse lending on such a short lease; purchase is likely to require cash or specialist finance. Site fees and ground rent are £5,495 per year (pro-rata for the first year), which is higher than typical and will affect net returns if used as a rental.
Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal, and the park setting means some ongoing park rules and management obligations. For a buyer seeking a modern, lock-up-and-leave holiday home or an investor who can manage lease and fee implications, this lodge presents attractive location and presentation. For mortgage-dependent buyers, the lease length is a material constraint and should be checked with lenders before proceeding.
