Set on a decent plot with low‑maintenance front and rear gardens, a private driveway and detached garage, the house suits retirees looking for space, independence and easy access to local amenities, buses and the promenade.
The well‑proportioned ground floor includes a bay‑front living room, separate dining room and a large kitchen with room for a table — ideal for entertaining or everyday dining. Upstairs provides a large master bedroom with dual aspect light, a second bedroom and a bathroom with separate WC, meaning the property can be used as two reception rooms plus two bedrooms or as a three‑bed option depending on needs.
Important buyer notes: the property dates from the 1930s and some areas show mid‑century fittings and décor that will benefit from updating. EPC rating D; buyers should expect typical maintenance for a house of this age and confirm specifics (electrics, roof, boiler) at survey. The Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease is available to purchasers aged 60+, offering a reduced purchase price (guide lifetime lease price £191,500 vs full market value £285,950); actual lifetime price depends on age, chosen share and individual circumstances. The layout includes upstairs rooms, so the house may be less suitable for anyone with limited mobility.
