This mid‑terraced three-bedroom home in Blythe Close offers practical, low‑maintenance living with a private rear garden, garage and off‑road parking. The interior is neutrally presented with a modern kitchen and double glazing — ready for a new owner to personalise. At about 808 sq ft the house is compact, so it suits downsizers, first-time buyers looking for value, or investors seeking a straightforward rental.
For Over‑60s the property is marketed with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example: a guide Lifetime Lease price of £178,500 (typical saving used 33%) versus the full market value of £270,000. The plan can allow the purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard capital; actual prices and savings depend on age and personal circumstances. If you are not eligible or prefer a conventional purchase, the full market price applies.
Practical positives include a garage to the rear, off‑road parking, fast broadband, gas central heating and proximity to local shops and several well‑rated primary and secondary schools. Notable limitations are the small plot and overall size, a single bathroom, and the property's location in a generally deprived, blue‑collar terrace area. Cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation, which could mean additional energy upgrades are needed.
This is a sensible buy for someone seeking value in Sittingbourne — especially an Over‑60s buyer wanting to reduce upfront cost with a Lifetime Lease. Buyers should verify tenure and all details with their solicitor and consider modest cosmetic or energy efficiency improvements to maximise comfort and future resale value.
