A handsome Victorian end-terrace recently redecorated and newly carpeted, offering traditional proportions and bay-window character. The house has three bedrooms, two reception rooms and a generous kitchen, arranged over an average-sized 998 sq ft footprint. Its freehold is stated by the vendor but buyers should have tenure confirmed by their solicitor.
This property is marketed with a Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) example price of £87,000 for purchasers aged 60+, typically representing a 20–50% saving versus the full market price of £130,000. The plan also allows buyers to purchase up to 50% of the property value to safeguard equity. The sale is chain-free and ready to view.
Practical benefits include mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing, an enclosed rear yard with a secure outbuilding and water tap, and very low council tax (Band A). Recent redecoration means minimal immediate cosmetic work inside.
Important considerations: the area is classified as deprived with above-average local crime; the plot is small and outdoor space is limited. The building is a Victorian solid-brick construction (pre-1900) with assumed lack of wall insulation — buyers should factor potential insulating or structural improvements into plans. Although described as newly renovated internally, services and installations (glazing install date, exact tenure) should be independently verified.
