A well-maintained two-bedroom semi-detached house offering an affordable route for buyers aged 60+ through the Homewise Lifetime Lease. The Lifetime Lease guide price for this property is £347,000 (typical saving ~33% against the full market price of £525,000), with the option to buy up to a 50% share to protect future value. The house is freehold and presented in tidy condition with a long rear garden and separate outbuilding for storage.
The layout includes a generous lounge/diner, a compact kitchen, two double bedrooms and a shower room. The plot is a strong asset: off-street parking, a garage and a decent-sized garden create scope for outdoor use or gardening. Planning approval already exists for a double-sided extension; there may be potential for further development subject to additional planning permissions, making this attractive to buyers looking to add value.
Important facts and limitations: the Lifetime Lease option through Homewise is available only to purchasers aged 60 and over; the property is being marketed as suitable for that plan but is not owned by Homewise. The overall internal area is small (about 587 sq ft) and there is a single bathroom, so space is limited compared with larger family homes. The wider area has pockets of deprivation despite good local schools and commuter links. Buyers must verify all planning, tenure and fixture information and confirm any extension consents before purchase.
This home suits an older buyer seeking lower-entry cost and future security via a shared-value Lifetime Lease, or a buyer prepared to invest in modest refurbishment and extend (subject to consents) to increase living space and long-term value.
