A compact two-bedroom mid-terrace cottage in Cheriton offering comfortable, low-maintenance living and private off-street parking. The ground-floor lounge with a cosy log burner and an updated kitchen create a warm, practical living space suited to relaxed retirement life. The property is presented as small in overall size (approx. 603 sq ft) and will suit buyers seeking manageable accommodation rather than large-family living.
This home is being marketed with a Homewise Lifetime Lease example price of £178,500 for over-60s, typically reflecting a 20–50% saving against the £270,000 market value. The exact Lifetime Lease price depends on the purchaser’s age and circumstances; customers can buy up to a 50% share to safeguard future value. The full market price option remains available for those not using the Lifetime Lease plan. Open house viewing available Saturday 1 November 2025 by appointment.
Practical notes: the property has mains gas central heating, double glazing fitted post-2002 and low local crime. The original cavity walls are assumed to have no added insulation, and the house is small — consider insulation and layout when budgeting future works. Tenure is freehold and council tax is very low, supporting modest running costs.
Overall this cottage will appeal to downsizers or retirees wanting a compact, characterful home with garden, parking and straightforward maintenance. It offers good local amenities, fast broadband and strong mobile signal, but buyers should factor in the property’s modest size and potential thermal upgrades.
