Over-60s can buy a lifetime-lease share in this Victorian three-bed near Bideford centre.
Three double bedrooms across two floors
This Victorian terraced house on Glendale Terrace offers roomy, practical accommodation across two floors, with three double bedrooms and a bright bay-fronted living room. A rear ground-floor extension creates an open-plan kitchen/dining area with modern high-gloss units and space for a family table. The property includes a small courtyard garden and a front area of stone chippings with potential for off-street parking (subject to consents).
The sale is being promoted with Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for purchasers aged 60+. The example Lifetime Lease guide price shown is £160,750 (typical saving c.33%) compared with the full market price of £240,000; actual price depends on age and personal circumstances and can include purchasing up to a 50% share to safeguard capital.
Practical drawbacks are material and should be noted: windows and some exterior paintwork are dated and the house requires modernisation in places. There is a medium flood risk rating and the local area records higher crime and deprivation metrics. Tenure details are not confirmed here – prospective buyers must verify tenure, consents for the extension/parking, and appliance/service condition independently.
This home will suit an over-60s buyer looking to downsize into ready-to-live-in accommodation with future safeguarding options, or someone who wants a period townhouse with potential to modernise and personalise close to Bideford town centre.
