This period end-of-terrace offers an affordable island base for over-60s through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease. The Lifetime Lease guide price is £132,000 (typical saving c.33% against the £200,000 market price) — actual price depends on age and circumstances and can include purchasing up to a 50% share.
The house is compact (approximately 609 sq ft) and requires renovation throughout, so it suits buyers who want to personalise a home rather than move in immediately. The property benefits from a long, private rear garden, driveway with off-street parking and traditional features such as a lounge fireplace and period brick façade.
Practical points for older buyers: the location sits on a bus route between Cowes, St Mary’s Hospital and Newport, and mains gas central heating, double glazing (pre-2002) and a decent loft provide scope for improvement. However, the area records higher crime and local deprivation levels, and the home’s small size and renovation needs should be factored into budgets for works.
This is a straightforward option for a retiree seeking a lower-cost entry to Isle of Wight property with future value potential from garden and improvement works. All tenure, price and eligibility details should be confirmed independently before proceeding.
