This four-bedroom detached house in PL7 is presented as a retirement-friendly option, marketed with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease for buyers aged 60+. The plan can reduce the purchase cost (guide Lifetime Lease price £318,250; full market value £475,000) depending on age and the share you buy. The property sits on a large plot in a very affluent, low-crime suburb with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
Internally the home is compact (approximately 875 sq ft) with an efficient multi-storey layout and about 11 rooms overall. Accommodation includes two bathrooms and a small modern en-suite; several rooms are modest in size with relatively high ceilings in places. The exterior reflects a 1970s suburban brick style with a driveway and garage.
This house will suit an over-60 buyer seeking lower outright cost and security from the Lifetime Lease rather than maximum living space. It’s also sensible for anyone who values a quiet, well-served neighbourhood and good digital connectivity. Prospective buyers should note tenure is listed as unknown and all legal and planning matters must be checked by a solicitor.
Important factual points: the property’s internal footprint is small for four bedrooms, so expect compact bedrooms and living spaces. The Home for Life price depends on individual circumstances and the proportion of the property you choose to safeguard; use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote for an exact figure.
