A spacious three-bedroom end-of-terrace in central Bodmin, offered as a retirement-appropriate home with a south-facing garden and off-street parking for two cars. The property totals approximately 1,265 sq ft across multiple storeys and sits a short walk from Bodmin town centre and local amenities.
This house is being marketed with the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for purchasers aged 60 and over. The full market price is £265,000; a Lifetime Lease guide price is shown as £177,500 (example saving c.33%). Actual Lifetime Lease cost depends on age, personal circumstances and the percentage share you choose (up to 50%). Please use Homewise’s calculator or request a personalised quote to understand what you would pay.
The property requires renovation throughout. Photographs and inspection notes indicate dated finishes, possible damp and mould in places, old carpeting, and exterior cracks that suggest subsidence or structural movement — these require professional investigation and likely remedial work. Internally there is a utility room, kitchen, living and dining rooms, conservatory, three bedrooms and a single family bathroom. The south-facing garden is small, mainly lawned and slopes gently with views across Bodmin.
This will suit a downsizer or retiree who wants a roomy home in town and is prepared to manage a renovation project or commission repairs. The combination of parking, good broadband and a central location are strengths, but buyers should budget for structural/maintenance work and factor in local area challenges (above-average crime and high deprivation indicators). Tenure and other legal details must be verified by your solicitor.
