Four-bedroom chalet bungalow with garden and driveway — ideal for over‑60s downsizers.
Lifetime Lease option for over-60s; guide price £396,500 (full market £600,000)
This detached chalet bungalow offers comfortable, single-floor living with additional bedrooms upstairs — a practical choice for those looking to downsize without losing space. Set on a decent plot in North Woodingdean, the home has a sizeable principal bedroom, three further double bedrooms, a generous lounge/diner and a sun room that overlooks the lawned rear garden and patio. A two-car driveway provides convenient off-street parking.
The property is being marketed with an optional Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease for purchasers aged 60+, which typically reduces the upfront cost compared with full market value. The stated Lifetime Lease guide price for this home is £396,500 (guide saving c.33%); the full market price is £600,000. Exact price depends on the buyer’s age, chosen safeguarded share (up to 50%) and personal circumstances — use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote to confirm figures.
Finished to a reportedly high standard and described as ‘turn-key’, the house still shows mid‑20th century construction characteristics: double glazing fitted before 2002 and cavity walls assumed without added insulation. These factors, together with its 1930s–1940s build, mean some buyers may want to budget for energy-efficiency upgrades or modernisation over time. All buyers should verify tenure, fixtures, fittings and any conversion/consent history with their solicitor.
Located close to local shops, bus routes and primary schools, the home suits retirees seeking a peaceful, well-connected base near the South Downs. Crime and area deprivation indicators are favourable, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and there is easy access to local amenities and green space.
