This refurbished three-bedroom semi-detached house in Downswood offers a comfortable, low-maintenance home ideal for downsizers and buyers aged 60+. The recently updated kitchen/diner faces the landscaped rear garden and the former garage has been converted into a useful home office and utility room, adding practical living space. Double glazing and gas central heating provide efficient comfort throughout.
The property is being offered through a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example. Over-60s can typically buy a Lifetime Lease at a reduced price (guide Lifetime Lease price for this example £281,000), with savings usually between 20% and 50% versus full market value (£425,000). The actual price payable depends on your age, personal circumstances and the percentage share you choose to safeguard (up to 50%). If you prefer, the property can be purchased at the full market price.
Practical points to note: the plot is small and the house has a single family bathroom, which may limit flexibility for households needing more bathroom space. The property is freehold, newly renovated and suits someone seeking a ready-to-move-in retirement home close to local amenities, green spaces and good transport links. All buyers should verify tenure, lease details and any conversion consents independently.
