The property is offered chain free and is presented as a retirement-suitable home; council tax is described as affordable and the area records very low crime and fast broadband speeds.
A Home for Life Lifetime Lease illustration is available for purchasers aged 60+ — a guide price for the Lifetime Lease is £247,500 (typical saving cited as 33%), against a full market price of £375,000. The final Lifetime Lease price depends on age, circumstances and any share purchased (up to 50%). Note: Homewise markets the Lifetime Lease option; the property itself is not owned by Homewise and remains available at full market value to any buyer.
Buyers should be aware this 1950s-built bungalow has solid brick walls assumed to lack cavity insulation and double glazing with unknown install date, so thermal upgrades and general updating may be required. Rooms are a comfortable average size; the layout and plot, however, present clear potential for sympathetic modernisation to improve energy efficiency and comfort.
