This roomy three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits in Westbourne village, offering spacious single-floor living with a large sunny rear garden and off-street parking. The layout includes a generous lounge, dining room and a long kitchen/family room, plus two bathrooms — practical for shared living or visiting family. Chain free and freehold, the property is presented as a straightforward, low-rise home in an affluent, semi-rural setting close to local amenities and pleasant walks.
The property is being marketed with Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for over-60s. The listed market price is £540,000; a Lifetime Lease guide price shown here is £357,000 (an illustrative 33% saving). Actual Lifetime Lease cost depends on age and circumstances and may allow purchasing up to a 50% share to safeguard future value. If you are under 60 you can buy at full market value.
Practical points to note: the bungalow dates from the 1930s–1940s, has cavity walls assumed uninsulated, and double glazing with unknown installation date. The main heating is mains-gas boiler and radiators. Roof and external joinery may need routine maintenance (images suggest some roof upkeep). Council tax is noted as very cheap and there is low flood risk and excellent mobile and fast broadband—useful for remote working or staying connected.
This property will suit someone seeking comfortable, single-level living in a village setting — particularly retirees looking to secure a Lifetime Lease saving — but buyers should budget for updating and insulation work if they want to improve energy efficiency and long-term running costs.
