This property is offered with the option of a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease for buyers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £116,000 (average illustrative saving ~33% versus the full market price of £175,000). The plan allows buyers to purchase up to a 50% share to protect capital; the exact price depends on age and circumstances.

The apartment is compact (approx. 500 sq ft) and aimed at retirement downsizers or those seeking low‑maintenance ground-floor living.

Local amenities are within reach — shops, takeaways, buses and leisure facilities nearby — but note the area records higher crime levels than average. The flat is well suited to someone seeking a manageable retirement base with the financial options offered by a Lifetime Lease, provided they accept the communal management costs and compact living space.
