This extended mid-terraced house in Larkfield offers a comfortable, low-maintenance retirement home with generous living space and a well-equipped kitchen. The ground-floor extension creates an open, light lounge/dining area ideal for entertaining or relaxed daily living. Both bedrooms are a good size with fitted wardrobes, so there are no small ‘box rooms’ to compromise comfort.
The property is sold freehold and chain free, and is presented in good order with double glazing and gas central heating. Outside there is a sizable front and rear garden, allocated off-street parking and a shed—useful for hobbies or storage. The house sits in a very affluent area close to shops, doctors, Leybourne Lakes Country Park and main conveniences.
Important eligibility and pricing note: the Home for Life Lifetime Lease scheme is available for buyers aged 60+ and typically reduces the purchase cost (example guide price shown: Lifetime Lease £185,500 versus full market value £280,000). Actual Lifetime Lease price depends on age, personal circumstances and the percentage share chosen; use the Homewise calculator or seek a personalised quote to confirm savings. If you are purchasing outside that scheme or are under 60, the full market price applies.
Practical points to verify: high local crime levels are recorded, and any purchaser must check planning/building regulation consent for the ground-floor extension. All room sizes and services are approximate; solicitors should verify tenure, fixtures and fittings, and any referral fees if using additional services.
