This three-bedroom detached house in Gault Close sits on a generous plot in sought-after Bearsted, offering space to relax and room to grow. The large rear garden, conservatory and garage with driveway give practical outdoor and storage options for gardening, hobbies or entertaining. Interior rooms flow with an open-plan feel and there is clear potential to extend (subject to planning) for buyers wanting to add value.
The property is sold freehold at a full market price of £525,000 but is available to purchasers aged 60+ through the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease scheme. A guide Lifetime Lease price for this example is shown at £347,000 (approx. 33% saving), with actual cost depending on age, circumstances and the percentage of value you choose to safeguard — use Homewise’s calculator or request a personalised quote for specifics.
Practical points are straightforward: the house was built circa late 1970s/early 1980s, has double glazing, gas central heating and no recorded flood risk. It does, however, require renovation throughout to bring kitchens, bathrooms and finishes up to modern standards. There is currently a single shower room only, and council tax is above average — factor these into running-cost estimates.
This home will suit an over-60 buyer seeking a retirement base with outdoor space and future-proofing options, or a buyer who wants a project with extension potential in a very convenient location close to shops, good schools and Mallards Park. Viewings are by appointment; images marked “Virtual Stager” indicate styling potential only.
