Summary - 5 MCWILLIAM ROAD BRIGHTON BN2 6BE
2 bed 1 bath Detached Bungalow
Sunny detached bungalow backing the South Downs—ideal single-level retirement living.
Lifetime Lease option for over-60s; example price £281,000 (market £425,000)
This detached two-bedroom bungalow in North Woodingdean sits backing onto the South Downs and enjoys far-reaching, sunny views. Its single-storey layout, front and rear gardens, two driveways and a long garage/workshop offer low-maintenance, practical living suited to downsizers seeking independence and outside space. The property is chain free and freehold.
Over-60s can buy this property via the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease; the guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £281,000 (market value £425,000). The Lifetime Lease lets buyers purchase up to a 50% share of the property value to safeguard capital; actual price depends on age and circumstances and will be confirmed by Homewise. If you are under 60 or prefer to buy outright, the full market price applies.
Internally the bungalow is bright and spacious for its size (around 710 sq ft) with two good bedrooms, a dining room, separate kitchen and a shower room. The construction dates from the mid-20th century with double glazing fitted before 2002 and mains gas boiler/radiators; this means comfortable heating but also that some elements may benefit from modernisation or updating.
This home will suit a retiree or downsizer wanting single-level living, easy access to local shops and buses, and immediate enjoyment of landscaped gardens and South Downs views. Be aware this is a single-bathroom home and the glazing/heating and general décor reflect its age — buyers should budget for cosmetic or systems updates if a fully modern finish is required.
