Turn-key two-bed lodge on a five-star park — great view, short lease risks.
Waterside lodge on a 5-star, 12-month park
New build, fully furnished two-bedroom layout
Designated off-street parking and modern integrated kitchen
Only 15 years remaining on lease — lenders likely to refuse
High annual charges: ground rent/service charge £5,650
Very slow broadband; average mobile signal — poor for remote work
Business rates may apply instead of council tax
Countryside location in a quiet village setting
This two-bedroom Pemberton Parklane lodge sits on a waterside pitch within a five-star, 12-month park, offering countryside and lake views in a quiet village setting. The home is new build and fully furnished, with modern open-plan living, integrated kitchen appliances and designated off-street parking for convenience. It will suit a buyer seeking a low-maintenance second home or downsizing to a leisure lifestyle.
Important tenure facts may restrict traditional mortgage lending: the property is sold with a leisure licence and only 15 years remaining on the rolling lease. Many high-street lenders will refuse mortgages on such short leases; cash buyers or specialist lenders are more likely to be required. Business rates may apply instead of council tax, and the park charges are substantial: an annual combined ground rent/service charge of £5,650.
Practical considerations include very slow broadband speeds and average mobile signal — acceptable for short breaks but limiting for long-term remote working. The park’s high specification, lakeside location and 12-month opening do create rental or holiday-use potential, but prospective buyers should confirm finance options, tax/rating implications and pitch terms before committing.
Overall, the lodge offers an attractive, turn-key leisure property with strong five-star park amenities and scenic views, but the short lease length and high annual charges are material drawbacks that will affect financing, running costs and long-term ownership plans.
