Large character home for over-60s with Homewise Lifetime Lease option.
Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage, over 2,600 sqft
A substantial Grade II listed four-bedroom cottage in the heart of Beckley offering over 2,600 sqft of versatile living across three floors. The house has generous reception space — three ground-floor reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room and cellar — plus a large private garden, garage and off-street parking. Chain free and set in a quiet hamlet with easy access to local walks, the village pub and nearby Rye.
This property is offered through Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease for buyers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £398,750 (based on an average saving of 33%) and a full market value of £595,000. The plan can allow purchasers to buy up to a 50% share to safeguard capital; the actual price paid depends on age, circumstances and any share chosen. Savings typically range 20–50% for eligible buyers; personalise a quote via Homewise tools to see illustrative figures.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which can limit alterations and may complicate retrofit work. The building is timber-framed with no assumed insulation and heated by an oil boiler — expect potential improvement costs for energy efficiency. Tenure/lease details are not confirmed here; purchasers must verify legal and service information. Services and appliances described have not been tested.
For someone over 60 seeking a roomy, characterful home with long-term security options, this property offers strong lifestyle appeal and flexible financial arrangements. If you need modern energy performance or extensive remodelling freedom, factor in listed-building constraints and likely renovation costs before proceeding.
