This modern four-bedroom detached home, built in 2019, is aimed at buyers aged 60+ who want low-maintenance, energy-efficient living in the Kent countryside. The Home for Life Lifetime Lease (Homewise) offers a guide price of £594,500 here — typically a 20–50% saving versus the full market value — though the final price depends on your age and circumstances. Open house (by appointment) Saturday 18 October 2025.
Internally the house feels generous: a large kitchen/breakfast room, a bright living room with wood-burning stove, a snug and separate dining/study room, and four double bedrooms including a principal suite with dressing area and en-suite. Practical storage is good, with attic/eaves access, plus utility and cloakroom facilities to suit downsizers who still want space for visitors and hobbies.
The property’s eco-credentials are strong — solar panels, triple battery storage and an air-source heat pump delivering underfloor heating — which should reduce running costs and offer comfortable year-round heating. Externally you get a large, south-westerly landscaped garden, patio with countryside views, oversized double garage with storage and driveway parking.
Important drawbacks and practical points: the Lifetime Lease price varies by individual and the plan is only available to those aged 60 and over; if you do not use the Lifetime Lease you would pay the full market price of £900,000. Council tax is described as quite expensive. All buyers should verify tenure, Lease terms, fixtures/fittings and energy arrangements with their solicitor and through Homewise before committing.
