Our Park and Homes

Downlands Park is a small established estate of just 17 retirement homes, lying adjacent to Brickhill Park on a quiet country lane.   Downlands Park is surrounded by beautiful countryside yet close enough to towns and villages for all local amenities.

We take great care to ensure our residents live in a pleasant and peaceful environment; as such we maintain the communal areas for everyone’s enjoyment.   All our plots enjoy a private garden with parking facilities either adjacent or near to each Park Home.  Each new home is connected to mains services (gas, electric and sewerage) and residents enjoy low energy bills as well as falling into the lowest council tax band (band A). 

Pitch fees are paid monthly.  Each resident has the benefit of the 1983 Mobile Homes Act agreement assuring them of security of tenure.  McFarland Park & Leisure Homes are members of the British Holiday and Home Parks Association and all our Park Homes carry a 10 year Gold Shield Warranty.

The Local Area

Downlands Park is surrounded by beautiful countryside yet close enough to towns and villages for all local amenities.  There is a general store and several pubs in the village of Slip End. A mobile library also visits the Park fortnightly.

At the Park entrance, there is a bus stop, which provides a frequent service to the towns of Harpenden, St. Albans and Luton.  Residents can also easily travel into London via excellent rail connections or venture further afield from nearby Luton Airport. The M1 motorway is easily accessed from junction 10, which is a short drive away.

There are plenty of lovely walks through the surrounding countryside.  In addition, there are several golf courses, bowling clubs and sport centres nearby. The delightful town of Harpenden is just a short drive away where you will find a choice of shops, restaurants, bars and cafés. Alternatively many of the major high street shops can be easily visited in the historic city of St Albans or in the town centre of Luton.
