A well-presented three-bedroom detached house on a quiet Burdon Vale street offering flexible living for downsizers and those aged 60+. The house sits on a modest plot with off-road parking and an integral single garage, plus a rear lawned garden and paved seating area for low-maintenance outdoor time.
This property is being promoted as suitable for Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease: eligible buyers aged 60+ can typically expect savings of around 20–50% against the full market price. The advertised Lifetime Lease guide price is £117,250 (market price £175,000), but the actual price you pay will vary by age, personal circumstances and any percentage share you choose to secure (up to 50%). The property is not owned by Homewise and is available at full market value to other buyers.
Internally the layout is family-friendly with a generous lounge opening to a dining room, a conservatory and a modern kitchen, plus a ground-floor guest WC. Upstairs are three good-sized bedrooms, an ensuite to the rear bedroom and a family bathroom. Practical conveniences include good mobile and broadband provision and easy access to the A19, local schools and Doxford Business Park.
Important practical notes: the property is leasehold (99 years from 1 January 1998) with a stepped annual ground rent schedule. The plot is relatively small and local crime levels are reported above average — both factors to weigh up for long-term security and lifestyle. Prospective buyers should verify lease details, ground-rent obligations and exact Lifetime Lease terms with their solicitor or advisor.
