This ground-floor two-bedroom flat offers a bright, well-presented home suited to over-60s seeking a low-maintenance retirement base. The accommodation includes a spacious living room, modern fitted kitchen, generous built-in storage and a private rear garden for outdoor relaxation. A driveway provides convenient off-street parking.
The property is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option through Homewise. The illustrative Lifetime Lease price shown is £231,500 (based on an average saving of 33% from the full market value of £350,000); actual price and any share you buy will depend on your age and circumstances. Only applicants aged 60+ are eligible for the Lifetime Lease plan – you can purchase up to a 50% share to safeguard value for the future.
Practical details support comfortable living: a long lease (159 years remaining), double glazing, gas central heating and modest annual costs (service charge £720, ground rent £100, council tax described as cheap). Notable negatives are that the building is solid brick with assumed no wall insulation, the area scores as relatively deprived, and the Lifetime Lease route restricts eligibility to those over 60. Prospective buyers should verify tenure, lease terms, and the exact Lifetime Lease offer before committing.
This home will suit downsizers or retirees who prioritise a ready-to-move-in layout, outdoor space and parking, and who want the potential financial benefits of a Lifetime Lease. It also offers scope for light improvement or personalisation to suit long-term needs.
