This three-bedroom detached bungalow sits on a substantial corner plot in Peacehaven, offering single-storey living well suited to over-60s. The layout includes a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room opening to the rear garden, a spacious lounge with a feature fireplace and a separate dining room with sliding doors to outside. A single family bathroom serves the three bedrooms.
The property is being shown with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example: market value is £425,000 while a guide Lifetime Lease price is £280,500 (average saving c.33%; actual saving depends on age and circumstances). The plan can allow purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard capital — eligibility for the Lifetime Lease is for buyers aged 60+.
Practical points: the house is freehold, has mains gas central heating, double glazing fitted since 2002, garage parking and good broadband and mobile signal. It was built in the mid-20th century and presents period character alongside later improvements.
Notable drawbacks are that there is only one bathroom for three bedrooms, and external cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation (upgrade may be needed). Buyers should verify all details, including measurements, tenure and services, and consider potential maintenance or insulation work when viewing.
