This lovely, well established park is set in the heart of
greenbelt countryside in the pretty village of Whipsnade in
the Chiltern Hills of Bedfordshire and has been owned by the
same family since it was started in the 1950's. The village,
apart from its famous zoo, has a pretty Norman church and
a tree cathedral set up by the National Trust. There is also
the 15th Century Hunters Lodge, a local restaurant where you
can entertain your family and friends. Accommodation is also
available there. There are plenty of lovely walks through
the village some taking you to the Dunstable Downs where you
can watch the local gliding club and hang gliders or simply
just enjoy the view.
Whipsnade Park Homes is set back from the centre of the village
by a private road and is totally surrounded by fields. There
are 100 mobile homes on the park, each with wonderful views
over the surrounding countryside. There are regular bus services
stopping at the entrance to the Park to take you to the nearby
towns of Hemel Hempstead, Dunstable and Luton from where you
can gain easy access to London.
A mobile library visits the Park fortnightly on a Friday
and a fish and chip man on a Wednesday. Newspapers and milk
are delivered daily. There is a newsagent, post office and
open till late shop in the neighbouring village of Kensworth.
Each home is connected to main services including electricity,
water and sewage. Oil and bottled gas can be ordered direct
from suppliers and delivered to your door.
The pitch fees, are £130.45 per month, which includes
water and sewage usage. Garages are also available to rent
at £31 per month. The electricity meters are read
quarterly. The Company prefers all payments to be made direct
through a bank.
Each resident has the benefit of the 1983 Mobile Homes Act
agreement assuring them of security of tenure and a copy of
this will be provided for potential residents to read at their
leisure.
Whipsnade Park Homes holds a Park licence issued by South
Beds District Council. This provides permanent planning permission
for residential park homes. The Council tax for park home
residents is currently £889.86 per year and in Band A.
