Lifetime Lease option for over‑60s — lower upfront cost, room to modernise and extend.
Three bedrooms and two bathrooms, versatile reception rooms
A roomy three-bedroom semi-detached house on Barr Road, offered with a Homewise Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60+. The property sits on a decent plot with off-street parking, a front and rear garden, two bathrooms (downstairs shower and upstairs family bathroom) and versatile reception space laid out as lounge, dining area and separate sitting room. Fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and proximity to Thamesview School and local amenities make this an easy-connected choice.
The Home for Life Lifetime Lease reduces the upfront cost compared with full market price; guide price shown here is £231,500 (Homewise example based on average saving). The full market value is £350,000 — the actual Lifetime Lease price depends on age, circumstances and the percentage share you choose to safeguard (up to 50%). If you are under 60, the property is still available at full market value.
Built around the early 20th century in solid brick, the house offers extension potential subject to planning permission and good scope for modernization to improve energy performance and internal finish. Notable positives include freehold tenure, two bathrooms and driveway parking. Important practical considerations: the property is in a deprived wider area, the walls are assumed uninsulated, double-glazing install date is unknown and some updating is likely needed to meet modern standards.
