This extended semi‑detached chalet bungalow offers single‑level living with flexible accommodation and garden space on the popular Racecourse development. Arranged over a compact 625 sq ft footprint, it includes an open‑plan lounge/diner and kitchen, four bedrooms (two with en‑suite facilities), a detached garage and off‑road parking — all offered with no onward chain.
The property is available through a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease for buyers aged 60 and over; the illustrated Lifetime Lease guide price is £429,500 (market value £650,000). Typical savings for Lifetime Leases range from 20–50% depending on age and circumstances; customers may buy up to a 50% share to safeguard future value. If you are not 60+, the property can be purchased at full market value.
Practical points to note: the building dates from the 1930s–1940s with solid brick walls and no assumed cavity insulation, and the double glazing was installed before 2002 — both may affect thermal performance and running costs. The bungalow has been extended and improved, but interested buyers should verify planning and building‑regulation consents for conversions and extension work.
Location strengths include a decent rear garden, easy access to Hornchurch station (under half a mile), nearby schools and local amenities, very low local crime, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The property is freehold and presented as suitable for retirement living, with straightforward parking and garage access via the rear.
