A well-presented three-bedroom detached bungalow in Stanbury Crescent, offered chain-free and suitable as a retirement or downsizing home. The accommodation includes an open-plan living area, main bedroom with ensuite, separate utility, plus a large loft room providing flexible additional space. Externally the property benefits from off-street parking, a decent plot with a low-maintenance rear garden and a modern garden office ideal for remote working or hobbies.
This property is being marketed with the option of a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease for purchasers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £350,500 (indicative saving versus the market price of £530,000). The Lifetime Lease lets eligible buyers purchase up to 50% of the property value to safeguard a portion of equity; actual price depends on age and circumstances. The home remains available at the full market price to any buyer.
Practical details: freehold tenure, approximately 937 sq ft, built 1950s–1960s, mains gas central heating, double glazing installed before 2002, no flood risk. Local convenience includes fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy walking access to the beach and several well-rated primary and secondary schools.
Notable considerations: the wider area scores as relatively deprived and crime is average; the loft room and any extensions should be checked for necessary planning or building-regulation approvals. Double glazing is older and some updating or maintenance may be required over time.
