This well-presented two-bedroom end-terrace in popular East Boldon combines Victorian character with modern fittings, ideal for someone seeking a low-maintenance retirement home close to transport and local shops. The property is offered with an example Home for Life Lifetime Lease price for over‑60s (guide price £184,250) and full market price £275,000; actual Lifetime Lease cost depends on age, circumstances and any safeguarded share (up to 50%).
Inside, period features — a walk-in bay, fireplaces and high ceilings — sit alongside contemporary upgrades: an improved kitchen with quartz worktops, modern bathroom with freestanding bath and double glazing. The layout includes a generous landing suitable for a study, two double‑sized bedrooms and a living/dining arrangement centred on an exposed chimney with a multi‑fuel burner (certification awaited).
Externally the property offers a small courtyard garden and low‑maintenance outdoor areas, with proximity to the Metro for easy commutes. Practical details: Freehold tenure is stated, EPC rating D, mains gas central heating with boiler and radiators, double glazing installed post‑2002 and fast broadband/mobile coverage.
Notable points to check: Lifetime Lease savings vary by applicant and purchasing via Homewise involves personal assessment — use the online calculator or request a personalised quote. There are some assumed fabric details (cavity walls with no insulation assumed), EPC D indicates moderate energy performance, and multi‑fuel burner certification is pending. Local crime data is flagged as high; prospective buyers should verify security and neighbourhood suitability.
