The property is double-glazed and heated by a mains gas boiler, ready to provide comfortable, familiar accommodation for downsizers or older purchasers.
For buyers aged 60+, the Home for Life Lifetime Lease can reduce the purchase cost versus full market value — the illustrated Lifetime Lease guide price here is £185,500 (market value £280,000). The plan lets eligible purchasers buy up to a 50% share to safeguard capital; actual price depends on age and circumstances.
Practical drawbacks are clear: the plot is small and the rear garden is overgrown and will need attention, and the local area records above-average crime and high deprivation levels. The house dates from the 1930s and walls are assumed to have no added cavity insulation, so buyers should consider potential improvement works and running-cost implications.
Overall, this is a straightforward, characterful 1930s home with good internal space and clear potential for a comfortable retirement base or an affordable family/first-time purchase with scope for modest refurbishment.
