A newly renovated two-bedroom luxury lodge on the gated Seven Acres development, designed for over-50s seeking low-maintenance living in landscaped grounds. The single-storey home offers an open-plan kitchen/living/dining area, large front glazing, wood-effect floors and an elevated deck that overlooks the communal planting. With mains services connected, off-street parking and fast broadband, the home is move-in ready and well suited to downsizers who want contemporary, compact living.
The development is a secure, social community with communal grounds, dog-friendly policies and a 12-month licence for flexible occupation. Practical advantages include metered utilities and a gravel driveway; the property’s larger-than-average footprint for a park home (approximately 960 sq ft) gives more usable space than many comparable units.
Important practical considerations are clear: this is a leasehold park home with only 22 years remaining on the licence, and high ongoing site costs (ground rent/site fees from around £3,000 pa). Mortgage lenders may refuse lending because of the short lease, so buyers should expect purchase to be cash or specialist finance. The local area records above-average crime and higher deprivation indices; prospective purchasers should weigh location and security factors.
Overall this home offers modern, low-maintenance retirement living in an attractive communal park, but the limited lease length and high annual fees are material drawbacks that affect financeability and long-term value. It will suit retirees seeking convenience and community who can accommodate the tenure and running costs.
