Lakeside lodge ownership at Derwent Oaks Park

An owner-only country park set around a private fishing lake.

Derwent Oaks Park sits between the villages of Sutton upon Derwent and Newton upon Derwent, eight miles south-east of York. The park is built around a two-acre stocked fishing lake, with mature trees, hedgerows and open meadow on every side.

Lodges are positioned to give every owner panoramic views across the water, with private decking running down to the lake. The lake is reserved entirely for owners, stocked with carp to 20lbs and silver fish.

Somewhere to disappear for a weekend or a fortnight, with York, Castle Howard, the Wolds and the East Coast all within easy reach. Twelve-month season, dog-friendly, quietly gated.
