About West Park Estates
Affordable Dream Homes
West Park Estates, established in 1986 at West Park, Darrington near Pontefract. Initially, a caravan site for many years, the site was purchased and transformed by the present owners, Gilbert and Valerie Miller, in 1986.
West Park was extensively re-developed and re-purposed, removing all caravans and replacing them with new, modern park homes. Extensive landscaping was added in the park, including block paved driveways, tarmac surfaced roads and street lighting.
Since then, West Park Estates have added three more residential park sites to their portfolio.
At West Park Estates, you can buy a luxurious and comfortable park home in a beautiful setting at an affordable price, releasing funds from the sale of your ordinary house for that new car you’ve always wanted, or maybe an exotic holiday abroad.
What is the difference between a Residential Park Home and a Caravan Holiday Home?
Park Homes are timber-framed residential properties, built to British Standard BS3632, suitable for all-year-round habitation, therefore can be used as your main UK residence (if sited on a park or location with a residential licence).
Residents are protected with security of tenure by the Mobile Homes Act (if the Park is registered with a residential site licence).
A Caravan Holiday Home is built to EN1647 which is a lower build standard in terms of the overall structure and level of insulation. Caravan Holiday Homes are only suitable for seasonal use due to the lower level of insulation and build quality.
