Summary - 17, Grange Road CT11 9NG
5 bed 2 bath Terraced
Retirement purchase option with large rooms and practical basement flexibility.
Five-storey Victorian mid-terrace with high ceilings and original features
This five-storey Victorian mid-terrace blends period character with recent updates, making it a distinctive choice for an over-60 buyer seeking long-term security. The home has been freshly decorated throughout and benefits from a new roof and new front windows, helping reduce immediate maintenance concerns. The principal suite with a large ensuite sits on the upper level and feels like a private retreat.
The property is offered with an example Home for Life Lifetime Lease price of £281,000 (typical saving ~33% versus the full market value of £425,000) for those aged 60+. The plan can allow purchasers to buy up to a 50% share to protect some future value; the actual purchase price will vary by age and circumstances. This can make a substantial saving compared with buying outright at full market price.
Accommodation is generous across five storeys with high ceilings, original fireplaces and an adaptable basement room ideal for a home office, gym or media space. At about 1,852 sq ft there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus flexible reception spaces and a small rear garden.
Important practical points: the house is built of solid brick with no known cavity insulation (likely higher heating costs unless upgraded). The plot is small and the layout’s multiple floors may be challenging for those with limited mobility. The local area has higher-than-average crime levels and sits within a very deprived area, which will be a consideration for some buyers despite excellent mobile signal and average broadband.
Overall, this property suits a buyer seeking period charm and roomy accommodation with immediate decorative readiness, who can either benefit from a Lifetime Lease model or who welcomes a renovation opportunity to improve energy efficiency and personalise the home.
