A compact ground-floor maisonette set in a quiet Southwater cul-de-sac, ideal for someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement home with outdoor space. The property offers a generous private garden and a conservatory overlooking it, plus off-street parking for up to three cars — uncommon for this size and location. The long lease (962 years) and nominal ground rent reduce long-term tenure concerns.
Internally the home is small (approximately 392 sq ft) with one bedroom and a living room. The kitchen and general finishes date from the late 20th century and will benefit from modernisation; there is visible wear consistent with age. Heating is by electric storage heaters and double glazing was installed before 2002, so prospective buyers should consider potential energy-efficiency upgrades.
This property is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example for over-60s, with a guide price of £149,000 (indicative saving against the full market price of £225,000). It is offered chain-free, making a quick move possible. Service charge is below average and council tax is described as cheap, but interested parties must verify all lease and service details with their solicitor.
Overall this home suits someone looking to downsize into a garden-level retirement property with parking and future upgrade potential. It is straightforward to view and prepare for living, but requires investment to modernise the kitchen, improve heating efficiency, and refresh internal finishes.
