Modern, energy-efficient retirement home with garden and garage.
New-build four-bedroom detached home with 10-year NHBC warranty
A modern four-bedroom detached home in The Watchmakers, on the edge of Bodmin, designed with contemporary comforts and energy-efficient systems. The house is new-build with a 10-year NHBC warranty, air source heat pump, whole-house underfloor heating downstairs and CAT6 cabling — well suited to buyers prioritising low-carbon running costs and strong connectivity. The layout includes a wide open-plan kitchen/diner with patio doors to an oversized patio, living room with retractable pocket doors, a utility room, a ground-floor flexible ‘magic room’, garage and off-road parking for two cars.
This property is being marketed as suitable for those aged 60+ through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise. Typical savings under that plan range from about 20%–50%; the example Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £294,750 (market value £440,000). The plan allows purchasers to buy up to a 50% share to safeguard capital; actual price depends on age and personal circumstances. If you are not over 60 you may purchase at full market value. Tenure/lease details are not confirmed here and must be checked legally.
Practical positives include a well-proportioned garden, garage, fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and no flooding risk. Notable local facts: the wider area is classified as detached rural retirement with primary-sector worker characteristics, area deprivation is flagged as higher and recorded local crime levels are above average. Buyers should consider these social indicators alongside the property’s strong technical specification.
Overall this is a low-maintenance, energy-efficient new home offering modern finishes and flexibility for living or partial-sale lifetime lease purchase, but purchasers should verify tenure, Homewise terms, associated fees and local community factors before committing.
