A deceptively spacious detached chalet bungalow set on a sizeable plot in Maidstone, presented with modern décor and a large driveway providing plenty of off-street parking. The property has been well extended to create a free-flowing layout with separate family and dining areas, a utility room and a ground-floor shower room — useful for adaptable retirement living.
This example is being offered through a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for over-60s: a guide Lifetime Lease price for this property is £347,000 (based on a 33% typical saving against the market value of £525,000). The plan lets eligible buyers purchase up to a 50% share to safeguard some capital; the actual Lifetime Lease price will vary by age and personal circumstances. Alternatively the full market purchase route remains available.
Practical positives include double glazing (fitted post-2002), mains gas central heating, a low-maintenance rear garden with a pergola and an outside bar, and convenient walking distance to schools, shops and transport links. The property is freehold and the 1,411 sq ft internal area gives room for visiting family and hobbies.
Notable points to verify: the extension/alterations should have planning/building regulation approvals confirmed by your solicitor; walls are assumed to be original cavity construction with no added insulation; council tax is above average and local crime is recorded as above average. All measurements and service conditions should be independently checked before purchase.
