Comfortable retirement home close to the seafront and local amenities.
Three bedrooms across two storeys, bright lounge and large kitchen/diner
A practical three-bedroom semi in Whitburn, well placed for seafront walks, local shops and regular bus routes. The house offers comfortable living across two storeys with a bright lounge, a large kitchen/diner and an enclosed rear garden ideal for light outdoor entertaining.
This property is presented with double glazing, mains gas combi boiler heating and a Council Tax Band A—making running costs relatively low. It is chain-free and sits in a low-crime area with good broadband and excellent mobile signal, useful for staying connected.
Important considerations: overall floor area is modest (around 803 sq ft) and there is a single family bathroom. The EPC is D and the house dates from the 1950s–1960s, so cosmetic updating or longer-term energy improvements could be needed.
For eligible buyers aged 60+, the Home for Life Lifetime Lease offers a reduced purchase price (guide Lifetime Lease price £137,250 versus full market £205,000) depending on age and chosen share. The Homewise option can reduce upfront cost, but specifics vary by individual and should be checked via the provider’s calculator or a personalised quote.
