Summary - Basement Flat, 3, Godwin Road, Cliftonville CT9 2HA
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Seaside one-bedroom with shared ownership option for over-60s.
Lower-ground one-bedroom with private rear garden

For buyers aged 60+, the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise can reduce the upfront cost; a guide Lifetime Lease price is £119,500 (market price £180,000). The plan lets eligible purchasers buy a share of the property (up to 50%) to safeguard capital — actual price varies by age and personal circumstances. If you are not over 60 you may purchase at the full market price; check lease details and seek a personalised quote.
Practical facts: the building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (likely no cavity insulation) and gas boiler central heating. The flat is lower ground level, which limits natural light but provides a quieter living space and easy access to the sunny rear garden. Broadband and mobile signal are strong.
Important negatives are stated plainly: the property is in a very deprived area with higher local crime rates, which may affect resale and rental demand. Prospective buyers must verify tenure/lease specifics, any conversion consents, and fixtures with their solicitor before purchase.
