Step into a well-presented 2-bedroom park home on the gated Pilgrims Retreat, a quiet over‑50s community set in attractive Kent countryside. The layout is efficient and light-filled: a large lounge with fireplace and French doors, a modern open-plan kitchen with island, utility room, main bathroom and a principal bedroom with ensuite and built-in wardrobes. Outside there is off‑street parking for two cars and a sizeable garden backing onto mature trees.
Residents enjoy onsite leisure facilities including an owners’ bar/club, heated indoor swimming pool and gym, plus woodland walks from the doorstep—appealing for active downsizers who want community amenities with low‑maintenance living. The property’s finishes are modern and well kept; the accommodation footprint is generous for a park home, with under-skirting storage and practical external hard‑standing.
Important practical notes: the home is leasehold with approximately one year remaining on the lease — many mortgage lenders refuse to lend on such short leases and this will likely restrict buyer options to cash purchasers or specialist lenders. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area and the wider locality shows pockets of deprivation, which may affect services and resale demand.
Overall, this property will suit buyers seeking a peaceful, low‑upkeep home in a sociable over‑50s setting, who understand the leasehold constraints and limited mortgageability. The combination of private outdoor space, communal facilities and countryside views delivers clear lifestyle value for the right purchaser.
