This Victorian mid-terrace on Elworth Street offers a compact, characterful home designed for comfortable, low-maintenance living. With two bedrooms, an open-plan living/dining area and a modern kitchen, it suits buyers seeking a manageable property close to Sandbach town centre. The property is offered chain-free and includes driveway parking, a private enclosed rear garden and a Worcester boiler serving radiators.
For buyers aged 60+, the Home for Life (Homewise) Lifetime Lease is available: a guide price of £140,750 (illustrative average saving ~33% against the £210,000 market price). The plan lets eligible purchasers buy a lifetime lease and optionally purchase up to 50% of the property’s value to safeguard equity; the exact amount payable depends on age and circumstances. If you are not over 60 you can purchase at the full market price.
Practical points to note: the house is a solid-brick Victorian build (pre-1900) and is assumed to have no cavity wall insulation; buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency upgrades. Tenure is reported as freehold but must be confirmed by your solicitor. The local area provides fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but is classified as deprived and part of an ageing urban community, so assess local services and long-term plans if area profile matters to you.
Comfortable now and with potential to modernise, the house is best-suited to downsizers or retirement buyers looking for town-centre convenience, outside space and a financing option that reduces upfront cost for those aged 60+. Viewing will show the property’s period charm alongside realistic improvement opportunities.
