Its layout suits someone looking to downsize without losing outdoor space, and the property is offered chain-free for a quicker move.
The Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise is available to over-60s and typically reduces the purchase price; a guide Lifetime Lease price for this property is £198,500 (market price £300,000). The plan can also allow purchase of up to a 50% share to protect capital, but the final sum depends on age and personal circumstances. If you are under 60 you can still buy at the full market value of £300,000.
Practical points to note: the maisonette is small at around 528 sq ft and was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (likely uninsulated) and double glazing fitted before 2002 — upgrading insulation and windows could improve comfort and running costs. Heating is mains gas via a boiler and radiators. Council tax is described as affordable and there is no flooding risk.
Location is a clear asset: a short walk to Sutton mainline station, good bus links and a wide choice of schools and local amenities. For someone aged 60+ seeking a manageable, centrally located retirement home with character and outside space, this presents a sensible, lower-cost entry option; buyers should budget for potential modernization and insulation works.
