The rear garden is a standout feature: mature trees, open lawn and a patio create private outdoor space ripe for gardening, play or entertaining.

Actual Lifetime Lease cost varies by age and circumstances and may include buying up to a 50% safeguarded share.
Practical points to note: the property uses warm-air mains gas heating and double glazing of unknown installation date. Broadband speeds in the area are recorded as very slow and council tax is described as expensive. Buyers should verify condition, services and any consent history before purchase.
