This detached two-bedroom bungalow in Holland-on-Sea is offered as a retirement-friendly option through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease for purchasers aged 60+. The full market price is £285,000; a guide Lifetime Lease price shown here is £191,000 (typical saving ~33%), with actual cost varying by age, circumstances and any share purchased (up to 50%). The property is chain free and compact at about 538 sq ft, suited to downsizers seeking single-level living.
Accommodation is straightforward: two bedrooms, lounge, kitchen, bathroom and a lean-to. The plot includes off-street parking and a south-facing rear garden, offering outside space and sun. Construction dates to the 1930s–1940s with double glazing present; the roof and some external elements may need attention and the garden is currently overgrown and requires maintenance.
Practical considerations: heating is via electric storage heaters and main fuel is electricity, which can mean higher running costs than gas. Tenure details are not confirmed here and buyers must verify. The bungalow is small internally and will suit buyers comfortable with modest room sizes and potential updating rather than those seeking generous living space.
Location benefits include low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal; local amenities and good-rated schools are within reach. The area shows pockets of deprivation, which may affect long-term value growth; this, combined with the Lifetime Lease purchase model, makes the home best suited to over-60s prioritising affordability now and the option to buy a protected share for the future.
