Set within Merlewood Country Park, this modern 2021 Willerby Manor offers a compact, low-maintenance two-bedroom layout with clear countryside views. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area opens onto a side and front veranda, extending the living space and making outdoor relaxing straightforward. The main bedroom includes an en-suite; a separate shower room serves guests.
The park provides practical on-site facilities including a laundrette, dog shower, small shop, and off-road parking. Owners also enjoy complimentary weekend access to a nearby health club and spa, plus easy access to local pubs, walks and the popular Great Eccleston market.
Important negatives are significant. The pitch is sold on a share-of-freehold basis with only 11 years remaining on the lease and a high annual ground rent of £3,720. This short lease term and the cost of ground rent mean many mortgage lenders may refuse to lend, and resale or buy-to-let demand could be limited. Prospective buyers should factor in end-of-lease implications and carry out leasehold and lending checks before committing.
This property will suit buyers seeking a seasonal countryside base, a low-upkeep downsizer, or a cash buyer looking for holiday-let potential. It is well-presented and move-in ready, but the lease length and running costs are material considerations that materially affect financing and long-term value.
