A substantial three-bedroom Victorian semi in the heart of Faversham, this well-presented home offers comfortable, flexible living across generous rooms. The lounge, separate dining room and conservatory provide defined social and quiet spaces, while a modern kitchen and utility add everyday practicality for downsizers who still want space for visitors or hobbies.
This listing is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £281,000 for eligible over-60s, against a full market value of £425,000. The Lifetime Lease lets buyers purchase a percentage share (up to 50%) to safeguard capital; actual price depends on age and personal circumstances. It's a good option to reduce upfront cost, but buyers should check personalised quotes and the plan terms carefully.
Practical considerations include largely electric portable heating in most rooms and solid brick walls assumed to have no cavity insulation — further insulation or a heating upgrade would improve comfort and running costs. The property sits on a small plot with a single bathroom, and local crime statistics are above average; these are important factors for safety and maintenance planning.
For someone aged 60+ seeking a roomy, chain-free town-centre base close to the station, parks and local amenities, this property balances period character with modernised interiors. Buyers wanting lower running costs or full modern insulation should budget for improvement works, but the location and room sizes make it a compelling downsizing choice with long-term potential.
