Flexible one-level living with period character and garage parking.
Lifetime Lease option for over-60s, guide price £251,250 (market £375,000)
Set on a quiet cul-de-sac on the outskirts of South Shields, this spacious 1930s semi-detached dormer offers comfortable one-level living with the flexibility of upstairs accommodation. The ground floor includes a generous bedroom, bay-fronted living room, dining room and a practical kitchen with adjoining utility and garden access — a layout that suits downsizers seeking easy circulation and occasional guests. Original period features such as wood panelling, an Edwardian fireplace and high ceilings give the house character while double glazing and gas central heating provide modern comfort.
The property is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example for over-60s: market price £375,000 and a guide Lifetime Lease price of £251,250 (approximate 33% saving); individual prices depend on age and circumstances, and customers can buy up to a 50% share to safeguard capital. Externally there is a low‑maintenance front and rear garden, extended garage, driveway parking and extra storage — practical assets for long-term, low-effort living.
Important practical points: the house is freehold and sits in Council Tax Band E. Local broadband and mobile signals are strong, but the area records above-average crime levels compared with national figures. The versatile plan and generous room sizes make this an appealing option for retirees seeking character, space and a secure way to release equity, provided buyers check personalised Lifetime Lease terms and local safety considerations.
