Over-60s Lifetime Lease option for an extended three-bed home with park views and renovation potential.
Extended three-bedroom link-detached house with rear outlook over West Park
A practical, extended three-bedroom link-detached house set directly behind West Park Recreation Ground, offering open rear views and a peaceful suburban outlook. The house suits buyers aged 60+ who want a downsized, low-maintenance base with scope to modernise and add value. A Home for Life Lifetime Lease is available as an alternative purchase route, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £281,000 (market value £425,000); the exact price depends on age and personal circumstances.
Internally the accommodation is generous for its 815 sq ft footprint: a long lounge with large windows, a kitchen, cloakroom, utility and a ground-floor study/bedroom, with two further bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. The property has practical features including double glazing, mains gas boiler/radiators, off-street parking and a garage. Solar panels are present to the roof (described in images).
The house requires some updating and redecoration; there is clear potential to reconfigure or extend subject to the necessary planning and building regs consents. Buyers should note the property is offered freehold but any alterations or conversions should be independently checked for permissions and warranties. This is an honest renovation opportunity in a very low-crime, affluent suburb with fast broadband, excellent mobile signal and easy access to local leisure, nature reserves and shops.
