This compact one-bedroom park home sits on the established Kingsmead Park development, exclusively for residents aged 50 and over. Offered with no onward chain, the single-storey layout and wrap-around garden make it a low-maintenance option for a single occupant or couple wanting ground-floor living close to Jubilee Park and local amenities. The home has PVC double glazing and gas radiator central heating for straightforward, economical comfort.
Internally the accommodation is small and shows signs of age in parts — low ceilings, dated decor and some interior wear — but the layout is practical: living room, kitchen with modern gas boiler, bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a modern shower room. The compact footprint (about 400 sq ft) means lower cleaning and upkeep, but also limited space and storage compared with conventional homes.
Buyers should note material tenure and running costs: park homes are sold as a “virtual freehold” with the home on perpetually leased land, and many high-street lenders cannot mortgage these homes. Ground rent/site fee is £197.45 per month (£2,369.40 per year) and electricity is recharged quarterly by the park operator. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow, and any parking addition requires site approval. These factors suit someone prioritising affordable, low-maintenance retirement living over traditional property ownership.
With modest renovation and redecoration, this property offers immediate occupancy and scope to tailor finishes. It’s best for purchasers who can arrange specialist park-home finance or cash buyers seeking a quiet, community-focused retirement base close to services and green space.
