This attractive three-bedroom detached Grade II listed home sits in the heart of Northiam village and is presented with traditional character and comfortable living spaces. The house offers an 18ft living room with a large inglenook fireplace and Stovax wood burner, a generous kitchen/breakfast room, separate triple-aspect sitting/dining room and a useful garden room that opens onto a private, well-tended easterly garden. Off-street parking for two vehicles and a pleasant front approach add everyday convenience.
The property is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+, which typically reduces the upfront cost (the guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £318,250, subject to age and circumstances; full market value is £475,000). The plan also allows purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard value in future. If you are under 60 the property remains available at full market value.
Buyers should note material constraints: Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and could complicate works; the property’s timber-frame walls are recorded as originally built with no assumed insulation; tenure details are listed as unknown and must be checked; council tax is band E (above average). Services are mains gas and drainage; some fixtures and services are untested and measurements are approximate.
This house will suit someone seeking a village retirement home with character and manageable grounds, who understands the implications of listed status and wishes to benefit from a lower-cost Lifetime Lease option. For those wanting major remodelling, the listing and timber-frame construction could limit scope and add cost.
