This three-bedroom terraced house on Bailey Road offers a practical, low-maintenance home in an affluent, low-crime area — a solid option for those aged 60+ looking to downsize without sacrificing space. The layout includes a bright bay-fronted living room, open-plan dining area, separate study and a modern family bathroom, arranged over a traditional two-storey plan with about 1,010 sq ft of accommodation.
A key attraction is the Home for Life (Lifetime Lease) route from Homewise for buyers aged 60 or over: a typical saving off the full market price is shown at around 33%, producing a guide Lifetime Lease price of £318,250 versus the market price of £475,000. The plan can allow purchasers to buy up to a 50% share to safeguard capital for the future — a genuine option for retirees seeking financial flexibility. Exact terms depend on age and circumstances, so obtain a personalised quote or use the Homewise calculator for an indication.
Practical positives include a landscaped rear garden with patio and lawn, double glazing updated after 2002, good mobile signal and fast broadband, plus affordable council tax (Band C). The property sits in a self-sufficient, affluent neighbourhood with nearby amenities — shops, cafés, healthcare and reliable bus links — and several highly ranked schools in the wider area.
Notable points to verify: the construction period and wall insulation (cavity walls assumed uninsulated), the communal heating/fuel arrangements and any associated service costs, and the legal tenure details. The brochure references freehold, but all buyers should confirm tenure, fixtures and services with their solicitor before committing.
