Ever fancied the idea of a second home on the coast? Somewhere to escape for both short breaks and longer stays? Perhaps a bolt-hole which could bring you closer to other family members, and which you could also invite them to use occasionally?
You might imagine that the cost of even a modest holiday cottage would rule this out for anyone but the well-to-do. But one of Britain’s largest holiday park groups begs to differ. In fact, says Park Holidays UK, the door to affordable holiday home ownership is now open wider than ever before.
First, a few reassuring facts. It’s now possible to buy a brand new modern three-bedroom caravan holiday home at Park Holidays UK for under £35,000. It will come fully equipped and furnished, and with a guaranteed right for the owner to keep it on the park for at least 20 years.
Already feeling a bit closer to second-home? Of course, while that price is attainable on many of the group’s 24 parks in Devon and Southern England, many other options are available. Right at the top end, for example, a super-luxury timber-built holiday lodge edges closer to £200,000.
