Spacious four-bed cottage with large garden near woodland — renovation opportunity.
Victorian semi-detached cottage on a large corner plot
Set on a substantial corner plot and bordered by local woodlands, this Victorian semi-detached cottage offers surprisingly generous living space and versatile rooms across two floors. The layout includes a large lounge with bay window, separate dining room, generous kitchen, conservatory and four bedrooms — well suited to multigenerational visits or a comfortable retirement with space to entertain.
This property is being offered with a Homewise Lifetime Lease example price of £330,500 for eligible over-60s (market value £500,000); exact Lifetime Lease cost depends on age and circumstances and can include the option to buy up to a 50% share. The home is Freehold and sits close to Luddenham and Bysing Wood primaries, with easy access to local woodland and a national supermarket.
Important practical points: the house needs general renovation and updating, has solid brick walls assumed without insulation, and is heated by a coal-fired boiler and radiators. Broadband speeds are very slow and council tax is above average. There is parking and a double garage, plus a large rear garden offering scope for landscaping or extension subject to consents.
This will suit buyers looking for a spacious, characterful property to improve and personalise, particularly retirees or downsizers who want room for visiting family, a generous garden and woodland proximity. The renovation requirement and older heating system mean budget should be set aside for modernisation and energy improvements.
