Chain-free bungalow with driveway and garden, ideal for over-60s downsizers.
Three bedrooms within approximately 812 sq ft living space
A roomy three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on a generous plot, offered chain free and suitable for a retirement move or downsizing. The property is freehold and sits in a quiet Istead Rise location with a large driveway for multiple cars and a low-maintenance rear garden — practical for those seeking easy outdoor upkeep.
The Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease is available to buyers aged 60+ and typically reduces the purchase cost; guide price based on an average saving is £297,000 (market value listed at £450,000). This plan can allow purchase of up to a 50% share and the exact price depends on age and personal circumstances — use Homewise tools or request a personalised quote for specifics.
Internally the layout is traditional with an 18'7" x 12'9" lounge, a sizeable kitchen and three bedrooms, all within about 812 sq ft. There is clear potential to add value: a loft conversion could increase living space subject to planning consent, and the solid mid-20th-century construction with filled cavity walls gives a straightforward base for modernisation.
Key practical points to note: there is a single bathroom, the home will likely benefit from updating to modern standards, and council tax is above average. All measurements and service details should be independently verified, and any planned works must follow required consents.
