Situated on the first floor of Silverdale Court, this two-bedroom maisonette offers practical retirement living with a communal garden and no onward chain.

This property is offered with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for over-60s through Homewise. The full market price is £140,000; a Lifetime Lease guide price is shown at £93,750 (typical saving around 33%). The plan also allows buyers to buy up to a 50% share to protect value in future — exact price depends on age and circumstances.
Practical positives include low annual service charge (£875.58), cheap council tax (Band B), mains gas heating and fast broadband/mobile signal. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and has double glazing installed before 2002. There is scope to refresh the interior and external areas to add value, but some updating will be needed.
Buyers should note the local area scores higher for deprivation and has above-average crime statistics — factor locality into your plans. Construction notes indicate cavity walls without added insulation (assumed), and some external areas need modernisation. Interested parties must verify all lease, service, and safety information with their solicitor and satisfy themselves on fixtures and services.
