This three-bedroom detached house on Merlin Way is presented as a retirement-friendly option through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease, aimed at buyers aged 60 and over. The plan can reduce upfront cost versus full market value — the illustrative Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £140,750 (market price £210,000), though the actual price depends on age, circumstances and any share purchased (up to 50%).
Inside, the home is practical and easy to run: a fitted kitchen with soft-close drawers, a bright conservatory overlooking a low-maintenance rear garden with artificial grass, and a comfortable lounge with a bay window. Off-street parking for two vehicles and a small plot make upkeep straightforward for downsizers.
Buyers should note the property is modest in overall size (about 668 sq ft) with a single family bathroom, so space is limited compared with larger family homes. The double glazing was installed before 2002 and, while heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators, some buyers may wish to update fixtures or windows over time.
Planning scope exists for an extension subject to the necessary approvals, which could increase living space and future value. The property is in a comfortable suburbia location with good local amenities, low crime, fast broadband and nearby schools and woodland walks — features useful whether purchasing at full market value or via the Lifetime Lease route.
