With over 250,000 people now residing in residential park homes across the UK, park home living is an increasingly attractive lifestyle choice for those over 50 or entering retirement. And it doesn’t take long to figure out why!

And if you’re searching for residential lodges for sale in Yorkshire, then look no further than Gateforth Park. Our residential, gated community is located in the Yorkshire countryside, just a stone’s throw from both Leeds and York.
Gateforth Park is ideal for retirement living — whether you’re looking for a permanent residence or a UK base as you travel.
What is a residential park home?
To begin, it’s important to highlight what makes park home living so unique. While residential park homes may often be grouped with caravan and holiday homes, they take a step beyond these sites.
Residential parks comply with robust modern building standards, making park homes suitable for living all year round. And with a lifespan between 70 and 80 years, you can be sure that your park home is built to last.
What is so unique about park homeownership?
Park homeownership is made unique by the fact that, upon buying your home, you own the building itself but not the lot that it stands on. You are then charged a small pitch fee per month, which pays for services and helps keeps the private park around you looking trim.
Important to note is that this fee must be paid even when you are not in residence at Gateforth Park. In addition, while we’re more than happy to welcome short-stay visitors into our idyllic village, sub-letting is not permitted.
When can I stay in my park home?
Gateforth Park is a “protected site,” making it suitable for residence all year round. In line with the Mobile Homes Act 1983, our park is fully licensed and suitable for long-term, permanent residence. From savouring your summers relaxing by the lake to enjoying your winters from the cosy comfort of your home, Gateforth Park is here to be enjoyed all year round!
