Quiet, central and practical, this three-bedroom mid-20th-century terrace on Grafton Avenue offers easy, low-maintenance living for over-60s seeking to downsize without losing comfort. The house is freehold and benefits from off-street driveway parking (multiple cars) with an electric vehicle charger, a light-filled open-plan kitchen/diner that opens to a conservatory, and a large, well-kept rear garden with a useful workshop/outbuilding — great for hobbies or storage.
The property is offered through Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease example pricing for over-60s: a guide price of £248,000 (average saving ~33% against full market value £375,000). The Lifetime Lease lets purchasers buy a share of the property (up to 50%) to safeguard some capital; the exact price depends on age and personal circumstances. If you are not eligible or prefer the full market purchase, the full asking price is shown as £375,000.
Practicalities are straightforward: gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed after 2002, and an affordable council tax band. The house sits in a sought-after area close to Rochester’s historic high street, top-performing schools, and the high-speed train station — useful for family visits or maintaining connections.
Notable limits include the property’s compact overall size (about 778 sq ft) and a single family bathroom; one bedroom is small and best suited as a study or single room. The cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, which may mean future energy-efficiency improvements are desirable. Buyers should verify all measurements, tenure and the specific Lifetime Lease terms, and check any appliances or planned works before committing.
