This fully furnished lodge-style chalet sits on a well-kept holiday park just outside Chester, backing onto open countryside. The open-plan living area with triple-aspect windows and UPVC French doors opens onto a timber deck and lawn, creating a bright, social space ideal for short-break stays or a low-maintenance retirement base. The modern kitchen includes integrated appliances and an L-shaped island with breakfast bar. The property measures about 868 sq ft and includes two double bedrooms — the principal with an en-suite and walk-in wardrobe — plus a utility room and allocated off-road parking.
Practical benefits include a 24-hour on-site reception, landscaped communal grounds, and the park’s maintenance services. The plot and accommodation are modest in footprint, reflecting lodge/park-home living rather than a conventional house; presentation is described as good throughout, so it’s essentially move-in ready for holiday or downsizing buyers.
Important constraints are factual and significant: the site requires annual vacancy between 31 January and 1 March, broadband speeds are very slow, and recorded local crime levels are above average. Ongoing holding costs are high — ground rent and site fees total several thousand pounds annually (ground rent approx. £5,700), and additional metered utilities and site charges apply. Buyers should confirm pitch fee tier and exact service inclusions before committing.
This will suit buyers looking for a comfortable, low-upkeep retreat near Chester — holiday purchasers, retirees seeking convenience, or investors targeting holiday lets — provided they accept the seasonal vacancy rule, high annual site fees, and constrained broadband/amenity profile.
