2 bed 2 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance first-floor home with balcony, long lease and retirement purchase option.
Two double bedrooms with main en-suite shower room
This first-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a practical, low-maintenance home with a bright open-plan living area and private balcony. The main bedroom includes an en-suite shower room and the second bedroom works well as a guest room, hobby space or home office. A contemporary family bathroom completes the layout.
The property is being marketed with the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease as an option for those aged 60 and over. The example Lifetime Lease guide price for this property is £120,500 (based on an average saving of 33% against the full market price of £180,000). Actual price and any safeguarded share (up to 50%) depend on age and personal circumstances; interested buyers should use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote.
Practical points to note: the apartment has a very long lease (985 years), electric room heaters as the main heating, an EPC rating of D and council tax band B. Service charge and ground rent are not confirmed. The surrounding area is described as deprived with a higher local crime level, so buyers should check local amenity and safety factors for themselves.
This apartment will suit downsizers or over-60 buyers looking for a modern, manageable home with flexible purchase options through a Lifetime Lease. If you are under 60 or prefer to buy outright at market value, the standard asking price is £180,000.
