Ideal single-floor retirement option with low-maintenance garden.
One-bedroom semi-detached bungalow, approx 485 sq ft
A neatly presented one-bedroom semi-detached bungalow offered freehold and ready for immediate occupation. The lounge/diner feels larger than expected, with French doors that open onto a newly paved, low-maintenance rear garden — ideal for easy living and entertaining. The property sits in a quiet, low-crime neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, close to shops and local transport links.
This home is particularly suited to buyers aged 60+ who may be eligible for the Home for Life Lifetime Lease, which typically reduces the purchase price (example guide price shown). If not using the Lifetime Lease, the market value is listed at £265,000 and the property remains available on the open market. The bungalow is freehold and has gas central heating with boiler and radiators.
Practical points to note: the house is compact at about 485 sq ft and best for single occupancy or couples downsizing. The cavity walls are assumed to be without insulation and the double glazing install date is unknown, so consider potential energy-efficiency improvements. There is potential to create off-road parking subject to relevant planning permission.
Overall this is a comfortable, low-upkeep retirement home in an ageing-suburban neighbourhood with good local schools nearby and convenient amenities. It offers straightforward living now with modest scope for value-adding improvements for someone wanting to personalise a compact single-storey home.
