Single-level home with garage and garden, ideal for downsizing buyers.
Single-storey two-bedroom bungalow, easy-access living
Quiet cul-de-sac living meets practical downsizing in this two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow in Hawkinge. The single-story layout, decent rear plot and detached garage provide easy-access living and useful storage for those seeking a low-maintenance home. The lounge is bright and the property has a modern-fitted kitchen and shower room suited to everyday needs.
This home is offered with a Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) example price of £198,500 for eligible buyers aged 60+, typically a 20–50% saving against the full market price of £300,000. The plan allows purchasers to buy up to a 50% share to safeguard value; exact terms depend on age and personal circumstances. The full freehold sale route at market value is also available.
Practical points to note: the house is small (approximately 614 sqft) and the kitchen shows 1980s fittings that many buyers will want to update. The area records higher local crime and relative deprivation, so buyers should consider security and neighbourhood factors. Heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators; glazing is double but installation date is unknown. Council tax is described as affordable.
This property suits retirees or downsizers who prioritise single-level living, outdoor space and off-road parking, and who may value the financial flexibility of the Lifetime Lease option. Viewings are recommended to assess layout and refurbishment potential for personal needs.
