A compact, low-maintenance freehold lodge in a small gated site of just four Tingdene homes, ideal for an over-55s buyer seeking countryside calm. The open-plan living area and upgraded kitchen/bathrooms are bright and practical, with double glazing and a recently believed replacement combination boiler. Two double bedrooms include built-in furniture and an en suite to the principal bedroom, making it ready for immediate occupation for those wanting a simple, comfortable retreat.
The plot is notably generous for a park home, with landscaped garden, summer house, shed and parking for two cars. LPG is supplied via a sunken tank in the front garden and the lodge has its own cess pit; water is supplied on a shared basis across the four lodges. Pets are permitted and the site benefits from well-kept communal areas maintained via a modest annual service charge of around £600.
Important restrictions and practicalities: the site is limited to purchasers aged 55+, there is no subletting, properties are for holiday usage only (12 months’ usage specified), and the vendor requires cash buyers. Viewings must be accompanied. These conditions make the lodge well suited to a retired buyer wanting a secure, peaceful base near lakes, river walks and a local village with a vineyard and pub, but less appropriate for someone seeking buy-to-let income or mortgage finance.
