Summary - Forge Lane, Staplecross TN32 5QE
5 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious plot and garage near village amenities ideal for relaxed country living.
Grade II listed five-bedroom period house with character features
This Grade II listed five-bedroom period house sits on a generous 0.26-acre plot in Staplecross, combining substantial living space with mature gardens, a detached double garage and a large workshop. The principal reception rooms retain original features — timber panelling, an inglenook fireplace and exposed joinery — offering character and scope to create a comfortable retirement home close to village amenities.
The property is offered as an example for Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease scheme for those aged 60 and over; a guide Lifetime Lease price is £402,000 (market value £599,950). Lifetime Lease customers typically save between 20% and 50% depending on age and chosen safeguarded share (up to 50%). If you are not eligible or prefer to buy outright, the full market route remains available.
The house requires general updating throughout and the Grade II listing will affect renovation options and consenting requirements. Some upper rooms have restricted headroom and the layout spans three floors, so consider mobility and adaptation needs. Positive practical features include mains gas central heating, double glazing (post-2002) and fast broadband suitable for working from home.
Staplecross village offers a pub, post office, village store, and a primary school with Robertsbridge station about 5.5 miles away for rail links to London. This property suits downsizers seeking a spacious, characterful home with long-term financial flexibility via a Lifetime Lease, but buyers should budget for updating and liaise with specialists about listed-building constraints.
