This three-bedroom mid-terraced house offers practical, ready-to-live-in accommodation arranged over approximately 732 sq ft. It has a bright lounge, kitchen/diner, a covered deck and sunny rear garden, plus a garage en-bloc and allocated parking — useful for visitors or a small car. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and radiators; double glazing was installed after 2002.
The property is being marketed as suitable for retirement buyers and is available through a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example for over-60s. The illustrative Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £215,000 (average saving c.33% against a £325,000 market value) but the actual price depends on age, personal circumstances and the percentage share chosen. Non-eligible buyers can still purchase at the full market price.
Practical drawbacks are clear and important: the plot is small, there is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and the wider local area records high crime and relative deprivation. The house dates from the late 1970s/early 1980s and, while move-in ready, buyers should verify condition, services and any maintenance or improvement needs.
For downsizers or retirees seeking straightforward, low-maintenance outdoor space and garage parking with good local travel links, this home is a useful, affordable option. Verify tenure details and the Lifetime Lease terms carefully to understand long-term implications before proceeding.
