This bright ground-floor maisonette offers comfortable single-level living just a short walk from Caterham station and local shops. The spacious lounge, two bedrooms and separate kitchen create a practical layout for retirees wanting low-maintenance, convenient accommodation with its own private entrance.
A rare practical benefit for central locations is the private driveway with space for two cars — valuable for owners who still drive. The property is chain free, has a very long lease (c. 974 years) and is share of freehold, with a below-average service charge of £180 PCM.
The building dates from the mid-20th century and has double glazing installed before 2002; cavity walls are assumed to have no insulation. These are straightforward upgrade opportunities if you want to improve energy performance and reduce heating costs. The boiler and radiators run on mains gas and broadband and mobile signals are strong.
For eligible buyers aged 60+, the Home for Life Lifetime Lease can reduce the upfront cost: the indicative Lifetime Lease price shown here is £198,500 (typical saving quoted c.33% from full market £300,000). The actual price depends on age, circumstances and any share of value chosen; non-eligible buyers can purchase at the full market price.
