Spacious three‑bed retirement-friendly home with garden, garage and Lifetime Lease saving potential.

Guide Lifetime Lease price £287,500; full market value £435,000
Large rear garden, conservatory and detached garage
Off-street parking on a quiet cul-de-sac
Cavity walls likely uninsulated — energy upgrades advisable
Very slow broadband speeds in the area
Higher-than-average local crime rate to consider
Built 1930s; potential need for modernisation and refurbishment
Quiet cul-de-sac living, generous garden and garage make this 1930s semi-detached house a strong choice for over-60s looking to downsize without losing space. The property offers a long lounge/diner, a conservatory that opens to the rear garden, and off-street parking — practical features for comfortable retirement living. The full market price is £435,000; under Homewise’s Home for Life Lifetime Lease the guide price shown is £287,500 (typical saving around 33%), subject to eligibility and personalised quote.
Internally the accommodation is straightforward and liveable: three bedrooms, one bathroom and an 851 sq ft footprint offer manageable maintenance and clear scope to personalise. The house dates from the 1930s and has double glazing installed post-2002 and mains gas central heating. The large rear garden and detached garage add storage and outdoor potential for low‑maintenance planting or seating areas.
Be realistic about likely updates: the property has cavity walls assumed without insulation and may benefit from energy-efficiency improvements. Broadband speeds are very slow here, and the area records higher crime than average — both practical considerations for daily life. There is only one bathroom and some rooms are modest in size, so buyers seeking more modern layout or high-speed connectivity should factor refurbishment costs in.
This home will suit an older buyer wanting space, parking and a garden close to rural walks and town amenities, particularly those who can benefit from the Lifetime Lease option to reduce upfront cost. Confirm eligibility for Homewise’s plan and verify all measurements, tenure and services before proceeding.
