This first-floor maisonette offers comfortable, manageable living with private outdoor space and off-street parking — well suited to buyers aged 60+ seeking a lower-cost ownership option.

The Home for Life Lifetime Lease with Homewise presents a reduced purchase price example of £165,500 (guide) compared with the full market price of £250,000. Savings typically range from around 20–50% depending on age and circumstances; you can buy a share of the property value (up to 50%) to safeguard equity. If you are not eligible for the Lifetime Lease you can still purchase at the full market price.
Practical assets include a recently installed boiler, double glazing, a long new lease on completion (approx. 166 years remaining) and low council tax. The house was built between 1930–1949 and retains period features such as a fireplace and solid brick walls, but some modernization is needed — the exterior is dated and loft insulation is assumed absent.
Be frank about local context: the area records higher crime levels than average. Nearby transport and highly rated local schools make the location convenient, but purchasers should factor in refurbishment costs to update the exterior, improve insulation, and personalise internal decor.
