The house sits beside open countryside with easy access to village amenities and country walks.
This home is being offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price for over-60s: guide price £221,500 (typical saving around 33% on the £335,000 market price). The Lifetime Lease lets qualifying buyers purchase a share (up to 50%) and a long-term lease to reduce upfront cost; the exact price depends on age and circumstances. If you are not aged 60+, the property is available at the full market price of £335,000.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which will limit alterations and can complicate repairs or modernisation. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so running costs and insulation improvements should be considered. A loft room is used as a bedroom; buyers should check legal compliance and fire/escape arrangements.
Well suited to downsizers seeking village life with character, this cottage is offered with no onward chain and a decent plot with mature planting. Verify all tenure, listed-status implications and measurement details with your solicitor before proceeding.
