A bright, well-presented chalet bungalow set on the edge of the South Downs in North Woodingdean. The house offers a large principal bedroom, three further doubles, two shower rooms and a generous lounge/diner that flows to a sun room with a leafy outlook to the rear garden. A two-car driveway provides off-street parking.
This property is offered with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £396,500 for eligible purchasers aged 60+, against a market value of £600,000. The plan can allow purchasers to buy up to 50% of the property value to safeguard an estate; actual price depends on age and personal circumstances. The full freehold is available to buy at the market price for non-eligible buyers.
Practical considerations: the chalet dates from the 1930–49 era, with double glazing installed before 2002 and cavity walls assumed to lack insulation, so buyers should expect potential energy-efficiency upgrades. The property is in an affluent, low-crime area with good mobile and broadband coverage and local shops, buses and primary schools within walking distance.
Overall this detached home suits buyers seeking a comfortable, retirement-friendly layout in a quiet neighbourhood with gardens and parking. It combines immediate move-in condition with scope for targeted improvements to heating and insulation if desired.
