Light-filled, single-storey living arranged for easy, low-maintenance retirement life. This detached two-double-bedroom park home was fully refurbished in 2021 with a newly refitted shower room in 2024, and benefits from bay windows and French doors that capture the elevated countryside outlook. Landscaped gardens wrap the home, providing sheltered patios, decking and multiple seating areas for outdoor relaxation without heavy upkeep.
The layout works well for comfort and convenience: an entrance hall with boiler and storage, a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a dining area and a living room with a feature electric fire. Off-street parking sits beside the private plot, and the property is freehold — uncommon on many park sites. Recent fabric improvements include roof sealing and added thermal insulation completed in 2021.
Buyers should note a few practical considerations. The home is heated by an LPG boiler (private supply), which can be more costly than mains gas. The EPC is E50, so thermal performance is moderate despite the 2021 insulation upgrade. There is a significant ground rent/pitch fee of £2,173 per year which will affect running costs, and broadband speeds are basic (around 63 Mbps). The property is aimed at the over-55s market and is compact, with a single bathroom.
Overall this home suits someone seeking a ready-to-live-in, peaceful retirement base in a semi-rural hamlet with good local amenities nearby. It offers immediate comfort and attractive external space, balanced against ongoing site fees and fuel considerations to factor into long-term running costs.
