A ground-floor, one-bedroom maisonette set in a quiet cul-de-sac in Bewbush, offering low-maintenance living and step-free access ideal for downsizers. The open-plan lounge and dining area, fitted kitchen with integrated appliances and a re-fitted bathroom make the layout straightforward and easy to live in. An enclosed communal garden provides outdoor space without the upkeep of a private plot.
This property is offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £126,000 for buyers aged 60+, versus the full market price of £190,000. Actual Lifetime Lease cost depends on age, circumstances and the chosen share (up to 50%); buyers should use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote to confirm savings. The flat is also available at full market value to buyers of any age.
Practicalities: the flat is leasehold with 88 years remaining, a low ground rent (£5) and a service charge of £584 (below average). Broadband and mobile signal are strong and council tax is described as cheap. Note the local area is classified as deprived with higher crime levels—worth considering for security and resale prospects.
Overall, this maisonette suits an over-60 buyer seeking an affordable, low-maintenance retirement home or an investor looking for a straightforward, ground-floor rental in a built-up area. The accommodation is average-sized (about 506 sq ft) and well-presented but does not offer a private garden or large living spaces, so viewings should focus on personal space needs and neighbourhood suitability.
