This detached three-bedroom chalet offers generous, adaptable accommodation and strong future potential for an over‑60s buyer. The layout includes spacious ground-floor living rooms, a conservatory and a large kitchen, with an extra room upstairs that can serve as a guest room or hobby space. The house is chain free and set on a large plot with a rare c.100ft rear garden — ideal for gardeners, socialising or quiet outdoor space.
Practical strengths include a wide driveway providing off‑street parking for up to five cars, a garage, double glazing (install date unknown) and gas central heating via boiler and radiators. There is no flood risk and local amenities, good primary and secondary schools, and fast broadband are all close by in this established Croydon suburb.
The property does require renovation and updating — cosmetic and likely some fabric work — so buyers should allow a budget for modernisation. Walls are original solid brick and assumed uninsulated; some energy‑efficiency upgrades may be needed. Council tax is noted as expensive, and the double glazing and heating installation dates are not specified.
This home is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for purchasers aged 60+. The illustrative Lifetime Lease guide price is £495,500 (based on an average saving of 33% against the full market price of £750,000). Actual price depends on age, personal circumstances and chosen safeguarded share (up to 50%). Those not using the Lifetime Lease would purchase at the full market price.
