A single-storey semi-detached bungalow offering comfortable, low-maintenance living in a quiet Forest Road location. The extended open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen create a generous social space ideal for relaxed days at home and hosting visitors. Two double bedrooms and a single bathroom keep the layout straightforward and easy to manage.
Practical benefits include a double garage and off-street parking, plus a landscaped, low-maintenance rear garden backing onto open fields for added privacy and pleasant outlook. The property is chain-free and freehold, with good access to Fairlop Central Line Station and local shops in Barkingside.
This home is marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example for buyers aged 60+: a guide Lifetime Lease price of £413,000 (illustrative saving against the full market price of £625,000). Actual Lifetime Lease cost varies by age and circumstances and can include purchasing up to a 50% share; interested buyers should use Homewise’s calculator or request a personalised quote to confirm individual terms.
Notable drawbacks: there is only one bathroom and broadband speeds are very slow, which may affect home working and streaming. The double garage offers conversion potential but would require planning permission and costs to adapt. All measurements and tenure details should be verified by your solicitor.
