A three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Dorchester Road offering single-storey living with a generous rear garden and detached garage. The house sits on a large plot in a very low-crime, affluent area of Ipswich, with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical strengths for modern retirement life.
This mid-20th-century home has gas central heating, double glazing and a sitting room that opens onto the garden via sliding doors. The kitchen has fitted base and eye-level units, a pantry and space for appliances; the bathroom has a bath with shower over. The interior shows dated mid-century fittings and décor, so there is clear scope to update and personalise the space.
The property is being offered with Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease example pricing for eligible over-60s (guide Lifetime Lease price shown at £201,000; full market price £300,000). The Lifetime Lease lets qualifying purchasers buy a share (up to 50%) and typically reduces upfront cost versus the full market price. Actual Lifetime Lease price depends on age, circumstances and chosen share — interested buyers should get a personalised quote or use the Homewise calculator.
Practical notes: the bungalow is compact at about 793 sq ft with a single bathroom and an unknown tenure (buyers must verify). The rear garden and plot size are strong assets, but the interior requires some modernising. Suitable as a retirement or downsizing home for those wanting one-level living with renovation potential.
