This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached house on Kingley Gate offers a low-maintenance retirement option with pleasant green outlooks across to the River Arun. Interiors are modern and tidy throughout, with a lounge opening to a landscaped rear garden and a compact kitchen and cloakroom on the ground floor. Two bathrooms (one ensuite) add convenience for household guests or visiting family.
The property is being marketed as suitable for over-60s using the Home for Life Lifetime Lease: an indicative Lifetime Lease price for this example is £231,500 (guide saving ~33% from the full market price of £350,000). The scheme allows purchasers aged 60+ to buy a Lifetime Lease and optionally purchase up to a 50% share of the property value; the actual price depends on age and personal circumstances. If you are considering this route, get a personalised quote or use the Homewise calculator for an estimate.
Practical positives include off-street parking for two cars, a garage, good local transport links with a mainline station nearby, fast broadband and low local crime. The house occupies a small plot with a modest total floor area (approx. 559 sq ft), so it is best suited to downsizers seeking manageable accommodation rather than those needing generous living space.
Important considerations: the home is compact and the plot is small — room sizes are modest — so storage and entertaining space are limited. The Lifetime Lease arrangement is a different ownership model from full market purchase; the exact purchase price and any share you secure will vary with personal circumstances and must be confirmed independently. Interested buyers should verify all tenure, service and legal details with their solicitor before proceeding.
