Two-bedroom retirement home with large garden and renovation potential.
Lifetime Lease option from Homewise for over-60s; guide price £260,500
A compact two-bedroom semi-detached house on a large plot, offered freehold and suitable as a retirement home or downsizer’s project. The property dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and a lounge with a feature log burner. There is clear scope to update, reconfigure or extend (subject to necessary consents).
This house requires renovation — the facade and roof appear tired and the garden is overgrown — but the plot, garage, driveway and outbuilding/summer house add tangible value and flexibility. The overall internal size is small (approx. 531 sq ft), so buyers should expect compact living or the need to extend to gain significantly more space.
There is a Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) purchase option through Homewise for over-60s. Guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £260,500 (based on an indicative 33% saving); full market price is £394,950. Actual Lifetime Lease price depends on age, circumstances and any share bought (up to 50%).
Local area attributes are strong: very low crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, with nearby shops, community facilities and primary schools. No flood risk is recorded. This is a straightforward renovation and extension opportunity for an older buyer seeking a quieter town-fringe location with long-term financial flexibility through the Lifetime Lease option.
