This two-bedroom Victorian terraced house in Dover offers straightforward, chain-free purchase and flexible tenure options for buyers aged 60+. The property is mid-terrace with a generous open-plan lounge/diner, mains gas central heating and double glazing. A rear garden provides outdoor space, but it is currently unkempt and will need attention.
The Home for Life Lifetime Lease option (for over-60s) can reduce the purchase cost significantly; the guide price shown here for that plan is £112,500 (market price £170,000). The property is currently tenanted and is being sold with no onward chain, making a reasonably quick transaction possible once vacant. The home is average sized at about 754 sq ft and is true freehold.
Buyers should note some practical drawbacks: the Victorian solid brick walls are assumed to lack insulation, the rear garden needs work, and the area records above-average crime and high local deprivation. The property will suit a retired buyer seeking an affordable, manageable home or an investor looking for a straightforward addition to a portfolio, but it will need some updating and possible insulation improvements to improve comfort and energy efficiency.
Practical local strengths include fast broadband, excellent mobile signal, nearby primary and secondary schools (several rated Good) and easy access to town amenities. Council tax is low, and mains gas heating is installed, keeping running costs comparatively modest.
