A sympathetically updated Victorian mid-terrace in Sandbach, this two-bedroom home mixes period character with recent modernisation. The property has been newly fitted throughout — including kitchen, radiators and storage — so it is largely move-in ready for a purchaser seeking compact, low-maintenance living. The open-plan living/dining room is the home’s main selling point, providing flexible space and good natural light.
The property is offered with no onward chain and is presented as suitable for retirement buyers; a Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise is available to those aged 60+, typically reducing the upfront cost versus full market value (actual price depends on age and individual circumstances). The listed market price is £190,000; the Homewise guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £127,250 (example saving of 33%). Buyers under 60 may purchase at full price.
Practical points to note: the house sits on a small plot with a private enclosed rear yard, built as a pre-1900 solid-brick terrace (assumed walls uninsulated). Tenure details are not confirmed in the listing and should be checked with a solicitor. The area is classified as deprived, but local crime rates are very low and Sandbach town centre amenities and transport links are within easy walking distance.
This home will suit downsizers and retirement buyers looking for a compact, modernised period property with minimal immediate works. Investors or first-time buyers should note the small footprint and verify tenure and any charges linked to a Lifetime Lease purchase before committing.
