Detached, single-storey park home with open-plan living
Set within Norton Park, this detached two-bedroom park home offers low-maintenance, open-plan living across 507 sq ft. The interior is described as immaculate with an open kitchen/diner/lounge, two bedrooms, a family bathroom and an ensuite — a compact, move-in-ready option for buyers wanting easy-access single-storey living. Outside there is a small garden and off-street parking.
Important practical facts affect suitability: the unit is a park home on a 10-year lease with an extreme ground rent of £4,188 per year (£349 monthly). The site licence allows 365-day use but purchasers must retain a separate main residence address. Mortgage lenders will likely refuse finance because of the short lease; this will typically limit buyers to cash purchasers or specialist lending only.
Running costs and services are unusual: water, septic tank maintenance, household waste removal, council tax and TV licence are included in the ground rent. Gas is supplied by bottled gas on site and electricity is via a pay-as-you-go card meter. These arrangements suit buyers who prefer simple, predictable maintenance but mean normal utility billing does not apply.
For downsizers or buyers seeking a low-upkeep countryside bolt-hole, the home’s immaculate presentation and approved year-round use are strong positives. However the short lease term, high ground rent and requirement for a separate main residence are material drawbacks that materially affect finance options and ongoing costs — they should be carefully considered before viewing.
