A spacious three-bedroom Victorian terrace in Buckland Avenue offering generous principal rooms and a long kitchen/breakfast area. The property retains period character including a bay-fronted reception and sits on a small, low-maintenance plot with front and rear gardens and a garden shed.
This house is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease illustration for buyers aged 60+ — guide Lifetime Lease price £198,500 (market value £300,000). The scheme allows purchase of up to a 50% share to reduce upfront cost; actual price varies with age and circumstances. The home is freehold and suited to anyone seeking a retirement base close to Dover Priory station and local shops.
Practical points: the mid-terrace was built c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls (no built-in insulation assumed) and double glazing fitted after 2002. Heating is mains gas to a boiler/radiators. The area has fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but is in a very deprived ward with above-average crime; buyers should factor this into location choice.
Internal space includes three bedrooms, one family bathroom and a utility room with WC. The layout and room sizes offer potential to reconfigure or update, but the property will benefit from modernisation and potential insulation improvements to the solid walls.
