The History of Tingdene

A Wellingborough Success Story

Established in 1969, Tingdene Homes has spent over half a century building a rock-solid reputation within the UK park home and leisure lodge industry. Operating out of their expansive headquarters and manufacturing facility in Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, they have grown to become one of the most prolific and trusted manufacturers of permanent residential park homes in the country.

The Backbone of British Parks

Tingdene models are the quintessential backbone of countless British residential estates. Known for their highly practical layouts, excellent durability, and a wide array of architectural styles, Tingdene has helped thousands of residents successfully transition to the park home lifestyle. Classic models like the Hayden Classic, the Barnwell, and the Dolben Lodge are instantly recognisable and deeply respected for their longevity.

The Visitor Centre Experience

One of Tingdene’s most famous innovations is their permanent Visitor Centre. By creating a dedicated showground where buyers can physically walk through a village of fully furnished show homes, they completely transformed the buying experience. This allows prospective owners to truly feel the space, compare layouts side-by-side, and customise their interior design choices in person.

Commitment to Residential Standards

Every residential park home that leaves the Wellingborough facility is built rigorously to BS 3632 standards. Tingdene places a strong emphasis on energy efficiency, utilising advanced insulation, energy-saving glazing, and robust weatherproofing to ensure their homes remain warm, comfortable, and highly cost-effective to run throughout the entire year.
