Detached two-bedroom bungalow with garage and large sunny garden, ideal for downsizers.
Lifetime Lease option for over-60s reduces price versus full market value
Quiet cul-de-sac living and a generous sunny garden make this detached bungalow a comforting prospect for anyone thinking of downsizing. The property is offered through a Home for Life Lifetime Lease illustration that typically reduces the amount to pay for buyers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £281,000 compared with the full market price of £425,000. The plan allows purchase of up to 50% of the property value to safeguard capital; the exact price depends on age and circumstances.
The bungalow offers two double bedrooms, a long lounge/dining room, conservatory, garage, and driveway. Double glazing, a replastered ceiling with new spotlights, a new bathroom and parquet flooring have already been installed, providing a solid base for further updating. There is scope to extend or personalise the layout subject to planning permission, making this a practical project for those wanting to create a long-term retirement home.
Buyers should note the property needs renovation and modernisation in places, and the neighbourhood records higher local crime levels. Broadband speeds are average. The freehold tenure remains straightforward, and there is no flood risk. For over-60s considering the Lifetime Lease option, this is a clear-value alternative to full purchase; younger buyers can purchase at the full asking price. Viewings are advised to assess condition and potential.
