Spacious modern detached home with Lifetime Lease option for over-60s.
Four bedrooms with main bedroom, dressing room and ensuite
Set on a large plot in Hadlow Down, this modern four-bedroom detached house offers spacious rooms and countryside views suited to someone looking to downsize without compromising on space. The main bedroom includes a dressing room and ensuite; living areas include a generous lounge, separate dining room and a conservatory overlooking the rear garden. An integral double garage and driveway provide secure parking, with scope to extend or convert the garage subject to planning.
This property is being offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for purchasers aged 60+, which typically reduces the purchase price compared with full market value (guide Lifetime Lease price shown as £479,000 versus market value £725,000). The exact Lifetime Lease price depends on your age and circumstances and can include purchasing up to a 50% share to safeguard future value. Note: the Lifetime Lease is only available to eligible over-60s; others can purchase at full market price.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the house was built in the early 1990s, has double glazing (installation date unknown) and oil-fired central heating. There is no flood risk, crime in the area is very low and the village setting offers nearby amenities and good primary schools. Material points to check before viewing include potentially high council tax and the ongoing cost/maintenance of oil heating; any garage conversion would require planning approval.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, modern countryside home with clear appeal for those aged 60+ seeking a spacious retirement property with the option to buy a Lifetime Lease. Investors or buyers wanting to avoid oil heating should factor in replacement or conversion costs.
