This tidy two-bedroom mid-terrace on Thorpe Walk offers a manageable, low-maintenance home with practical benefits for downsizers or over-60s. The property is chain-free, has a useful garage en-bloc and a compact rear garden with artificial lawn and patio — little outdoor upkeep required.

Council tax is described as cheap, and local broadband and mobile signal are good, helping everyday convenience.
Available via a Home for Life Lifetime Lease for those aged 60+, the advertised Lifetime Lease guide price is £198,500 (based on an illustrative saving of 33% against the £300,000 market price). The actual Lifetime Lease cost depends on age, personal circumstances and any percentage share you choose to purchase (up to 50%). Alternatively the property can be bought at the full market price.
Notable practical points: the house sits on a small plot and was built 1950–66 with cavity walls (assumed uninsulated) — further insulation or updating may be needed to improve energy efficiency. The wider area is described as hard-pressed rented terraces and the locality shows relative deprivation; crime is average. All details should be independently verified by any purchaser and their solicitor.
