This three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in North Weald, offering single-storey living on a decent plot with off-street parking and a rear garden. The property has a large lounge, modern fitted kitchen and an en-suite to the principal bedroom — practical features for comfortable retirement living.
The property is available through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for purchasers aged 60+, typically reducing the upfront cost versus full market value (example guide price £297,500 vs market £450,000). Alternatively the property can be bought at full market price; whichever route you take, be aware this sale is being handled via the modern auction method and is subject to auction terms and conditions.
Built in the 1930s with solid brick walls and double glazing, the bungalow is generally well-presented but buyers should note the solid wall construction likely lacks cavity insulation. There is scope to extend, subject to planning permission, offering potential to adapt the layout to changing needs or to add value. Services, fixtures and dimensions should be independently verified before purchase.
This home suits downsizers or those seeking a retirement base in a quiet small-town fringe location with fast broadband, low local crime and nearby shops and amenities. The combination of single-floor living, a modern kitchen and scope for improvement makes this a practical, adaptable property for someone wanting comfortable, low-maintenance living with future flexibility.
