Ownership

How owning here works.

The licence

You own the lodge outright. The plot is held under a holiday licence with an annual pitch fee — and because the purchase is in the lodge rather than the land, no Stamp Duty is payable.

The licence is assignable, so you can sell on. The estate keeps the freehold and maintains drives, gates, lighting and landscaping.

Occupancy

Occupy in any month. It cannot be a sole or principal residence, so owners keep a main address elsewhere.

  • PurchaseLodge owned outright
  • PlotHoliday licence agreement
  • Stamp dutyNone payable
  • Annual pitch feeFrom £6,000
  • Included in feeGrounds, gates, lighting, estate management
  • Occupancy12 months; not a sole residence

Guide prices are indicative, not an offer or contract. Full terms are in the buyer's pack; please take independent legal advice.
