Compact seafront-adjacent home with Lifetime Lease savings for over-60s.
Victorian two-bedroom terrace with bay window and fireplace
A compact two-bedroom Victorian terrace close to Brixham town centre and seafront, offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+. The house retains period features such as a bay window and fireplace but needs modernisation throughout, making it suited to someone who wants to personalise a retirement home rather than move straight in.
The Home for Life plan can reduce the upfront cost: a guide Lifetime Lease price is £110,500 (market value £165,000), with typical savings of around 20–50% depending on age and circumstances. The plan allows purchasers to buy up to a 50% share to safeguard future value; exact terms vary by individual and should be checked with the Lifetime Lease provider.
Internally the layout is traditional two-storey with an average-sized living room, kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms across approximately 812 sq ft. There is a small garden and low local crime, while the wider area has good local amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Note the property’s plot is small and the area is relatively deprived, which may affect long-term capital growth.
Practical points to verify before committing: tenure/lease details, any required building regulation consents, and the precise Lifetime Lease quote for your circumstances. The house presents clear scope for renovation or updating, offering a retirement buyer the chance to create a comfortable, personalised home near the coast.
