Bright retirement home with large garden and garage, ready for updating.
Detached 1960s chalet bungalow with panoramic South Downs and sea views
Set high above Woodingdean with far-reaching views across the South Downs and out to sea, this detached 1960s chalet bungalow offers bright, flexible living across about 1,333 sq ft. The main living room opens to a sunny balcony; downstairs includes a large garage with electric door, block-paved driveway and a generous, tiered rear garden that responds well to landscaping or structural redesign.
The house is being offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60 and over; guide price for that route is £363,500 (market value shown as £550,000). The Lifetime Lease typically delivers a 20–50% saving depending on age and circumstances and allows purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard capital for the future. If you are not eligible or prefer the full market route, the property remains available on standard terms.
This is a practical retirement or downsizing option with clear scope for improvement. The property requires cosmetic updating and some modernization (including assumed lack of cavity wall insulation), so there is scope to add immediate value. Important practical positives include mains gas central heating, double glazing, low local crime and fast broadband in a comfortable, affluent suburb.
Note: measurements are approximate. Interested buyers should verify tenure, services, fixtures and any planning or building regulation history independently. The house is sold chain free.
