Lifetime Lease option for buyers 60+ — lower upfront cost, traditional period home.
Victorian mid-terrace with period bay windows
A Victorian mid-terrace with period bay windows, this 4-bedroom property offers compact living across 812 sq ft and a private garden — suited to someone wanting a traditional home near Torquay amenities. The Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise makes this particularly relevant to buyers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £217,750 (market price £325,000). Savings vary by age and circumstances; you can purchase up to a 50% share to safeguard capital for the future.
The house is structurally typical of early 1900s solid-brick builds and has double glazing and mains gas central heating. It will suit a buyer looking for a well-located retirement home who accepts a modest overall size and traditional room layout. The property has one bathroom only and seven main rooms, so it’s compact for four bedrooms and may suit downsizers or relatives using spare rooms rather than a large-family household.
Buyers should note building fabric and services are basic: walls are likely uninsulated, and the house may benefit from modern insulation upgrades and kitchen/bathroom modernisation to improve comfort and running costs. Tenure/lease details should be confirmed with a solicitor; the Homewise Lifetime Lease is a shared-ownership style arrangement and is available only to those aged 60 or over. Local area: low crime, good mobile signal and fast broadband, but the wider area shows higher deprivation indices.
Practical benefits close to hand include nearby schools, leisure facilities and shops, making the location convenient for community activities. The property is presented as suitable for retirement living but requires prospective purchasers to verify all dimensions, services and legal details independently.
