This three-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a pleasant corner plot in Westgate-on-Sea, offered chain-free and suitable as a retirement home. Mature front and side gardens, a garage and off-road parking make it a practical single-storey option for those wanting low-step living close to local amenities and transport links.
The property is being marketed with an example Home for Life Lifetime Lease price of £231,500 for purchasers aged 60+ (market value £350,000). The Lifetime Lease typically reduces the up-front cost by around 20–50% depending on age and circumstances; buyers should obtain a personalised quote or use the Homewise calculator to understand exact terms. If you are not eligible or prefer to buy outright, the full market price is available.
Internally the bungalow offers a bay-fronted lounge and dining room, a compact kitchen, three bedrooms and a separate bathroom and toilet. The layout is comfortable for retirement living but the home will benefit from updating and some refurbishment to modern standards — the build dates from the mid-20th century and double glazing appears to pre-date 2002.
Practical details to note: the property is freehold with mains gas central heating and boiler/radiator system, cavity walls with assumed no insulation, and a modest total floor area (around 765 sq ft). These factors, plus the refurbishment opportunity, are reflected in the Lifetime Lease pricing and make this a viable option for downsizers seeking a single-storey home with garden space.
