What does your perfect residential park look like? If you’re considering moving to a park home, you may have been daydreaming about the kind of model you would like. How will it be furnished? What bespoke options will be available?
But hold fire on the home! That’s because the first thing you should be focusing on is finding the perfect park. Believe us, once you find a park that ticks all your boxes, it’ll be a piece of cake finding a plot and a home!
Finding the perfect park
The key to finding a park that perfectly suits you and your lifestyle is to think about what you envisage doing in retirement.
Will you be looking for peace and tranquillity, a place to relax and live life at a sedate pace? Or do you like getting out and about, exploring places, going to concerts, shopping, dining and drinking? If so, you’ll need a park in a good location, close to a town or city and with good transport links. Or perhaps you’d prefer a park with a great community, where you’ll make friends and enjoy socialising?
Think, too, about your hobbies and interests. Are you planning to join a club or society? Do you enjoy gardening and would ideally like a decent-sized outdoor space in which to indulge your passion?
Once you’ve pinpointed parks that look like they offer the kind of lifestyle you’re looking for, it’s time to pay them a visit. Leave yourself enough time for a good look around the site and the park homes. Ask the park team lots of questions and, if you can, find a resident to have a chat to. Explore the area and the local amenities as if you were living at the park and going about your daily life.
Why choose Gateforth Park?
Nestled near Selby in the picturesque North Yorkshire countryside, Gateforth Park is a tranquil, gated residential park spanning 45 acres.
Our residents enjoy the serenity of open countryside while still being close to essential amenities and perfectly positioned to explore and enjoy everything our beautiful region has to offer.
Immerse yourself in our wonderful Gateforth Park community, take a stroll through the small woodland walk, gather with neighbours in the inviting community hub, or simply unwind by the tranquil outdoor pond. Our Lakeside homes even have a private fishing peg at the end of each garden.
Activities and leisure opportunities outside the park are many and varied. For golf enthusiasts, the adjacent Selby Golf Course offers endless opportunities to perfect your swing. Or, if you prefer bowls, you can join the local Selby Bowling Club, where many of our residents have already found enjoyment.
For those who love discovering new places, culture and history, Gateforth Park offers easy access to North Yorkshire’s finest attractions, from the historic cities of York and Ripon to the stunning landscapes of the North York Moors, the Yorkshire Dales and the Yorkshire Coast.

Our plots and homes
Finding the right plot can be a challenge, but it’s one we think we can meet. In fact, we’re confident that we’ll exceed your expectations of how a residential park can be designed and laid out. That’s because all our plots are different sizes and shapes and, crucially, they are off-set from each other. There are no regimented rows of homes at Gateforth Park!
So, whether you’re looking for a small, easy-to-maintain plot, a more generous space that allows you to indulge your love of gardening, or even a garden leading down to a lake with your own private fishing peg, you’ll find a spot at Gateforth Park that’s perfect for you.
You’ll also be pleasantly surprised by the choice of park homes we offer. Visit our Open Weekend and you’ll see for yourself the quality of our homes. We work with top manufacturers Omar and Prestige to offer stylish, contemporary park homes that fulfil all your practical requirements as well as aesthetic preferences.
We also think very carefully about how we place adjacent homes, with a focus on ensuring that the outlook of one home does not infringe on its neighbour’s privacy.
Bespoking your park home
It’s an exciting time choosing your home, and with Omar you can customise it how you wish!
Perhaps you love the two lounges of the Vision but would prefer the master bedroom or kitchen of a different Omar home? Simply retain the features you love and switch the ones you don’t! You’ll be invited to the Omar factory for a good look at all the bespoke options, so you can create a home that is truly personal and unique to you.
Lakeside park homes
Imagine waking up to sunrise views across the lake, heading down to your exclusive fishing peg to cast out on a tranquil afternoon, or having a drink on the decking and watching the wildlife on a summer’s evening.
If you love being near water, or enjoy a little fishing, a home in the Lakeside area of Gateforth Park could be perfect for you. The lake is stocked with a variety of fish that the keen anglers on our park love!
