Set on a large plot in Westdene, this detached single-storey home offers flexible living aimed at older buyers. The heart of the property is a huge open-plan kitchen/diner with a large island and separate utility — ideal for entertaining or daily family life. A separate, self-contained annex with its own entrance and shower room provides independent guest accommodation or potential rental/working-from-home space.
Practical features include off-road parking, a rear garage, double glazing (installed before 2002) and electric storage heating. The house has four bedrooms but only one main bathroom; the accommodation totals about 743 sq ft, so room sizes are generous but the overall floor area is compact for a four-bedroom home. Constructed in the 1950s–60s, the property will suit buyers comfortable with a period home and some updating.
This property is available with a Lifetime Lease purchase option for people aged 60 and over; typical savings against the full market price are significant and vary by age and circumstances. The advertised full market price is £700,000 and the Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £462,500 (example figure based on average savings). Buyers not using a Lifetime Lease would pay the full market price.
Location strengths include very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus good nearby primary and secondary schools and convenient bus links. Key negatives to consider are the single main bathroom, electric storage heating system, older double glazing and the need for any personal preferences for modernisation or energy upgrades to be addressed by the purchaser.
