Discover your new happy place

Picturesqu­e locations, luxurious homes. All within the easy reach of the community that you know and love. These are just some of the benefits of being a Haulfryn home owner.

-

The last 2 years has made many of us re-evaluate our lives. Maybe we hanker for a change of scene, a different daily routine, or a desire to rebalance our priorities.

If you are amongst those weighing up what might be next, have you considered a residentia­l park

home? This option might just offer the security, flexibilit­y, and beautiful living environmen­t you

have been craving. A popular choice with ‘rightsizer­s’ seeking to free up some equity in their family home for new adventures, or to help their

children financiall­y – they also offer a way of

trimming household running costs. You might not have chosen your change in circumstan­ces, but the next steps can be up to you.

If you are worried about moving away from an area you love, Haulfryn parks offer the possibilit­y of becoming part of a friendly, likeminded community within 11 town and country environmen­ts from a rural idyll close to the New Forest, to the boating paradise of Windsor to a seaside retreat near the Cinque Ports of Kent.

The family-owned company has been building premium holiday parks across the UK for over 85 years, and for the past 30 years their residentia­l

parks – designed for year-round use - have been maturing into vibrant, beautifull­y maintained communitie­s that are especially popular with

the over-fifties, with prices from £175,000*.

The sector has been growing across the UK – 250,000 people currently live in a park home and in the current housing market are particular­ly attractive as the lack of supply of convention­al bricks and mortar homes in some areas has been pushing up prices to eyewaterin­g levels.

Do not worry either that purchasing a park home means that you cannot keep it for as long as you wish or pass on your home to your children - you can do both. Under 45 or a young family? Haulfryn’s parks at Willows Riverside, Ravenswing, Surrey Hills and Meadowland­s cater for you too.

It was at Meadowland­s Park, located in leafy Surrey close to Chertsey and Weybridge, that Clifford and Vanita Hearne discovered their ideal home after struggling to find something that suited them elsewhere.

Say the couple: “We were looking to downsize to

a bungalow, but we found them difficult to come

across. As an alternativ­e, we decided to look into residentia­l park living and we’re so glad we did. Living on a Haulfryn residentia­l park comes

with a whole host of benefits: it’s secure, you

feel like part of a local community, and they’re located within walking distance of local shops and amenities. What’s more was the buying process, it was easy and hassle-free from start

to finish – we couldn’t recommend it more.”

Home ownership is easy and straightfo­rward, as the Hearnes suggest. When you buy a park home you don’t have to pay solicitor or stamp duty fees, you will move into a property that is fully furnished, with a state-of-the-art kitchen, and you will only pay council tax at level A or B and modest pitch fees. Most homes come with allocated parking next to the property, and permit pet ownership whilst all offer a friendly onsite management team.

Haulfryn’s expertise in the park homes sector means that there is a real choice of location – across Berkshire, Dorset, Hampshire, Kent and Surrey. The company’s portfolio caters to a broad range of needs, whether you want the chance to meet new friends at an onsite clubhouse or you dream of canalside walks a short stroll away. The choice is yours so why not come and have a look?

Cancer June 22 – July 23

Someone thinks they know how you will react to a propositio­n they are about to put to you. You sense what they are going to ask and what they expect your reaction to be. An unconventi­onal response will work to your advantage.

Leo July 24 – Aug 23

You’re inches away from your goal. You will get the chance to close the gap and finally this will be over with. This will bring a mix of elation and sadness as you say goodbye to some people who have been a part of your life for some time.

Virgo Aug 24 – Sep 23

You’re starting to notice the same symptoms bothering you whenever you have to face a task you don’t want to do. There’s a correlatio­n between the two and you will also notice that the moment the job is done, the symptoms will disappear.

0905 789 3706** Capricorn Dec 22 – Jan 20

Be honest when you discuss a joint matter you no longer want to be a part of. After discussing the issue, someone will decide to continue without you. Put things straight to avoid any misunderst­andings about the issue.

Aquarius Jan 21 – Feb 19

Tying up loose ends will feel satisfying. It will be through clearing the decks of anything that no longer serves a useful purpose that you will have more time for meaningful projects. An organised approach brings efficiency.

Pisces Feb 20 – Mar 20

A friend will insist on passing on informatio­n about a past event even though they know how much this upsets you. Their knowledge will sound contrived to hurt you or make you feel inferior and you wonder why they want to unsettle you.
