Elm Farm Country Park

bc5a41e6-2fcf-435d-a8ba-8a83011043a1
ELM Farm Country Park is a peaceful, attractively landscaped haven located in the Tendring Peninsula village of Thorpe-le-Soken. As part of the ‘Essex Sunshine Coast’ the area boasts one of the best climates and some of the lowest rainfall in the UK. The Park is family owned and managed. All holiday homes are exclusively ‘owner occupied’ and the park has a ‘community feel’. The village centre is a short walk away and boasts an impressive selection of restaurants, pubs and shops. Their continuing pledge to encourage park customers to enjoy Thorpe-le-Soken’s shops and facilities means that the Park does not have a club house, shop or other facility to interrupt the peace at Elm Farm.

Nearby attractions include Frinton-on-Sea, famous for its beach and greensward, seafront golf course, ‘Cricket Week’ and ‘Tennis Week’; Dedham Vale and Flatford Mill, immortalised by the painter Constable; the historic port of Harwich and Colchester Britain’s oldest recorded town. The Lifehouse spa and well-being resort is located directly opposite the park. The surrounding area is perfect for anyone who likes to play golf, tennis, or squash, go fishing - either freshwater or sea - sail, walk, cycle, explore history or perhaps, more importantly, relax!

They have teamed up with Country Homes to create an exciting new range of low maintenance luxury lodges at fantastic ‘turn-key’ prices. The lodges are clad in woodgrain effect UPVc available in a range of colours, combined with ‘Timbertech’ slip resistant composite decking these materials are easily cleaned, require no staining or painting and will last for the life of the lodge leaving you more time to enjoy your luxury lodge lifestyle and saving a small fortune on maintenance costs. Each lodge is designed around a different core part of the luxury lifestyle, whether you require a spacious living area, larger kitchen, or more room in the bedroom, there is a model to suit your needs and exceed your expectations. There is also a bespoke service where you can design, furnish and appoint your own lodge choosing everything from carpets and cupboard handles to roof colour and where you would like the windows. You can visit the factory and see your bespoke lodge at various stages of its quality, controlled build.  There is a showground at Elm Farm displaying the latest models. Viewings are informal and the kettle is always on!
