This semi-detached bungalow on Linden Avenue has been fully refurbished and is ready to move into—an attractive, low-maintenance retirement home a short walk from Broadstairs beaches and town. The single-storey layout, private front and rear gardens and well-proportioned rooms suit those seeking easy living without compromise on style.
The property is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £247,500 (market value £375,000). The Lifetime Lease lets eligible over-60s buy a percentage share (up to 50%) at a reduced cost; exact saving depends on age and circumstances. The home is chain free and presented to a high standard with engineered oak flooring, underfloor heating and a bespoke kitchen with polished concrete worktops.
Practical strengths include a newly fitted roof, full re-plumb and re-wire, double glazing and a fully boarded loft for storage. The plot is small and the bungalow was constructed in the 1950s–1960s with cavity walls (assumed no added insulation), so buyers should consider current insulation levels and potential energy-efficiency improvements. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and may not match modern standards.
This property will suit downsizers or retirees wanting a turnkey single-level home close to coastal amenities and good local schools. It combines contemporary finishes with straightforward maintenance, but budget for any planned insulation upgrades or glazing replacement if improved thermal performance is required.
