A compact two-bedroom detached bungalow offering single-storey living on a decent plot in Torquay. The property is well suited to over-60s seeking a manageable home with a private garden, street parking and straightforward gas central heating. Its modest footprint (approx. 595 sq ft) keeps maintenance low while the detached layout provides privacy and a small outdoor shed and patio for easy gardening.
This home is being offered with a Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) example price of £217,750 for eligible buyers aged 60+, against a full market value of £325,000. The Lifetime Lease option lets purchasers buy a share (up to 50%) to safeguard capital; the exact cost depends on age and personal circumstances. If you are not eligible or prefer to buy outright, the full market price applies.
Important practical points: the bungalow was built in the late 1970s–early 1980s and has cavity walls with assumed partial insulation and double glazing of unknown installation date. There is no garage and parking is on-street. Tenure details are not confirmed and must be verified by your solicitor. The layout and size suit downsizers or retirees but will feel small for buyers needing extensive living space.
Nearby Torquay amenities, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal help keep you connected; the area has low crime and several well-rated schools in the wider neighbourhood. Buyers should budget for possible insulation improvements and verify all legal, service and appliance details before purchase.
