Frequently Asked Questions

This entirely depends on the size and specification of your chosen lodge. As a guideline, the smallest standard specification lodges will be around £269,000 and the largest premium specification lodges could go up to £299,000. The more typical lodges will cost around £279,000 to £289,000.

The price you pay includes the cost of the lodge itself, together with the right to keep it on your chosen plot at Scampston Park Lodges for 99 years. The lodge itself comes fully furnished, including carpets, curtains, kitchen appliances, light fittings, lounge furniture and bedroom furniture (all chosen by you). In addition, we also include up to £12,000 of free decking, together with free transport, siting and connection of your lodge.

There are two main documents. Firstly, there is a purchase agreement for the lodge itself. Secondly, there is a separate licence agreement entitling you to place your lodge on your chosen plot for up to 99 years. Both agreements are based on templates provided by the BH&HPA (British Holiday & Home Parks Association).

Once you’ve decided to purchase a lodge the first step is to secure your preferred plot with a £2,000 deposit. Then you will decide on the manufacturer and lodge model, visit their premises and specify the layout and design to suit your needs. Once that is done you confirm your order with a further deposit of £23,000. The balance becomes due 14 days before your lodge is sited at Scampston. This process generally takes around 4 to 6 months to complete from deciding to go ahead to your lodge arriving on site.

No, the park is licensed as a holiday park and cannot be used as a permanent residential home. You must have a permanent residence elsewhere.

When you purchase your holiday home you will also have a licence to keep your holiday home on your chosen plot for 99 years.

There are companies that specialise in providing finance for holiday lodges such as these and we will be very happy to arrange an introduction to independent finance providers.

A tennis court is provided for the exclusive use of the owners.

Storage boxes, decking and skirting are very much encouraged. We maintain the right to approve design and materials for these. We also provide a design service if required.

Dog owners may bring their pets to Scampston Park Lodges but they must be kept under control and cleaned up after. Dogs must not cause a noise nuisance to other residents. Maximum number of pets per lodge is 2. We reserve the right to exclude pets that do cause a nuisance to others. 

There are many excellent golf courses nearby, including the renowned Ganton Golf Club just a few miles away. Other courses are sited at Malton and Kirkbymoorside.

Yes, both our approved manufacturers can design lodges to provide access and facilities for anyone. There is ample space on the lodge plots to provide wide car parking space, wheelchair ramps and lifts. 

We pride ourselves on being one of the most spacious parks in the region, with plenty of space between lodges allowing for landscaping to provide screening and demark each plot. As far as we know Scampston Park Lodges is the lowest density park of its kind in North Yorkshire. The best way to get a feel for the space is to come and look for yourselves!

We do not allow sub-letting as we feel that this would harm the character and nature of the park. However, you are allowed to let family and friends use your lodge. 

The park has been designed to provide a peaceful setting. However, adjacent to the park there is over 30 acres of parkland for amenity use by lodge owners and their families, so plenty of room for children to play in. 

Access is controlled by automatic gates with a key fob and authorised phone control. We have also installed a central security system which allows us to monitor the alarm systems in each individual lodge. In addition to this there is a Park Warden who lives on site providing year-round security. 

Because the park is for holiday use, owners must register with their doctor at their main residential address. However, as a holidaymaker, you can use the local doctors and hospitals in emergencies. 

The postman won’t deliver mail, however we are happy to occasionally accept items at the Estate Office which we can hold for you to collect when you are over at Scampston.
