Characterful three-bed terraced retirement home with Homewise Lifetime Lease example price.
Victorian terraced house with period fireplace and exposed stonework
A traditional three-bedroom Victorian terraced house on Fore Street, Plympton, offered as a retirement-suitable home. The property retains period character — exposed stonework and a fireplace — and includes a small rear garden. At about 1,024 sq ft it provides comfortable, straightforward accommodation for downsizing or for someone wanting a town-centre retirement base.
This listing is presented with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £154,000 (guide based on an average saving). The full market price is £230,000; the actual Lifetime Lease price depends on the buyer’s age, the proportion of the property they wish to secure (up to 50%) and personal circumstances. Interested buyers aged 60+ should use Homewise tools or request a personalised quote to understand the exact cost and savings.
The house is dated and will need modernisation — the living room decor and some finishes require updating. There is a single bathroom, broadband speeds are slow and the local area is classified as deprived; these are practical considerations for anyone reliant on fast internet or seeking higher local amenities. Tenure details are not provided and must be checked by your solicitor before purchase.
The property is best suited to over-60s seeking a characterful, centrally located retirement home with potential to refresh rather than a move-in-new option. Its Victorian features, compact garden and proximity to local services make it appealing for those prioritising town living and a manageable layout.
