Lifetime Lease example for over-60s — 4 beds, garage and large garden in Sittingbourne.
Four bedrooms with lounge, conservatory and separate dining room
A substantial four-bedroom detached house on North Street offering a practical, comfortable layout and outdoor space suited to retirement living. The property includes a garage, large driveway for multiple cars and an outbuilding currently used as a workshop and separate store — useful for a home office or hobbies. Solar panels and double glazing (post-2002) help running costs, while mains gas central heating provides reliable warmth.
This listing is marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example: over-60s can typically expect savings versus full market price, with a guide Lifetime Lease figure of £264,500 (market value shown as £400,000). The exact Lifetime Lease price depends on the purchaser’s age, circumstances and any share of the property they choose to safeguard — up to 50%. Only those aged 60+ are eligible for the Home for Life plan; anyone else would consider the full market price.
Practical considerations are clear and factual: there is a single family bathroom for four bedrooms, the original cavity walls are assumed to lack insulation, and the house dates from the 1950s–1960s which means some elements may need updating. The surrounding area is described as relatively deprived and crime is average; however local schools, shops and bus links are close by and broadband speeds are fast.
In short, this is a roomy, well-located detached home with generous parking and usable outbuildings — appealing for an older buyer seeking space to downsize without sacrificing storage or car parking. Buyers should budget for cosmetic updating and potential insulation improvements, and confirm all legal and tenure details with their solicitor.
