This mid-20th-century three-bedroom terrace in Crawford Close offers a practical, low-maintenance home suited to over-60s looking to downsize with financial flexibility. Sold via a Home for Life Lifetime Lease, guide pricing for eligible buyers is £154,000 (market value £230,000); actual price varies by age, circumstances and any percentage share purchased (up to 50%). The property is chain-free and benefits from gas central heating and UPVC double glazing.
Internally the layout is straightforward: sitting room, fitted kitchen/dining room, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom across an average-sized footprint (approx. 889 sq ft). Outside there’s a small private garden with an outbuilding/brick shed and off-street parking. The house is located near local amenities, Lydiard Park and M4 J16, with good mobile and broadband connectivity and low local crime.
The house needs modernisation and external maintenance; it currently has limited kerb appeal and small rooms with standard ceiling heights. Prospective buyers should note tenure details are not confirmed and must be verified by a solicitor. The Lifetime Lease model can reduce upfront cost but will be adjusted to reflect any safeguarded share of value — use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised illustration to see exact savings.
