This substantial five-bedroom Victorian terraced house is arranged over three floors, offering flexible space for downsizers or retirees who need extra rooms for guests, hobbies or storage. The home is being marketed with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £167,500 (typical saving c.33% against full market value of £250,000) for purchasers aged 60+, although the property can also be bought at full market value. Exact Lifetime Lease price depends on age and circumstances.
The property retains period character including a bay-windowed sitting room and original chimneys, and benefits from a large enclosed rear garden, outbuilding with electricity and WC, plus a multipurpose studio at the garden end. The ground floor layout includes a porch, hallway, kitchen with diner, sitting room and conservatory; three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor, with two further bedrooms on the second floor.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the house needs modernization throughout and parts are described as unkempt or derelict; some glazing is single-pane. There is only one bathroom for five bedrooms and broadband speeds are slow locally. Tenure details are not confirmed in the provided information and should be verified by your solicitor.
This is a strong opportunity for an over-60 buyer seeking to reduce upfront cost via a Lifetime Lease, or for anyone prepared to carry out refurbishment to unlock the house’s space and character. Verify all measurements, tenure and working condition of services before proceeding.
