Low-maintenance two-bed lodge with parking and private gated setting, ideal for downsizers.
Private gated community in National Forest setting
Quiet, low-maintenance living is the key appeal of this two-bedroom park home in Swainswood Luxury Lodges, set within a private gated community in the National Forest at Overseal. The open-plan kitchenette-to-living area opens via sliding doors onto an astro-turf balcony, creating an easy indoor–outdoor flow. The main bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and an en-suite; the second bedroom suits guests or a hobby space. A separate exterior room with mains electric offers useful storage, a home office, or workshop.
Practical features make day-to-day life straightforward: private driveway parking for up to three cars, fast broadband availability, and freehold tenure. Running costs are modest — council tax is Band A and the property is EPC exempt (typical for park homes) — which will suit downsizers or retirees seeking simplicity.
Be clear about limitations: the unit is compact (approximately 555 sq ft), so living space is limited compared with a conventional house. There is a medium flooding risk for the area, and the wider locality records higher deprivation indicators; these are factual considerations for long-term buyers. The setting is rural and tranquil, close to village amenities and local primary schools, but mobile signal is only average.
This property will appeal to someone after a secure, low-upkeep base in a wooded setting — ideal as a permanent downsizer’s home, second residence, or managed holiday-let within a gated park. Viewings will show how the layout, parking and outdoor terrace make compact living comfortable.
