Set on a generous corner plot in Walderslade, this detached, single-storey bungalow offers straightforward, single-level living suited to downsizers and those planning for later life. The layout includes two reception rooms, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a family bathroom; reception space is particularly generous for entertaining or quieter seating areas. The double garage and driveway add practical off-street parking and storage. The plot’s size and orientation offer clear scope to extend, subject to planning permission.
The property is offered as freehold and is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price for over-60s of £264,000 (market value £400,000). Typical Lifetime Lease savings range from around 20–50% depending on age and circumstances; the exact price paid will vary. Note the Lifetime Lease option is only available to buyers aged 60 or over and Homewise do not own the property.
Internally the bungalow reflects mid-20th century styling and is dated in places: carpets, fixtures and some décor will benefit from updating to contemporary standards. Bedroom sizes are modest and the home will suit buyers seeking easy single-floor living rather than larger family accommodation. Services are practical—mains gas central heating with a boiler and radiators—and there is no identified flood risk.
Location strengths include highly regarded local schools, low local crime rates, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus nearby shops and leisure amenities. This is a sensible option for those wanting retirement-focused accommodation with potential to personalise, extend or modernise to increase comfort and value.
