Set back in a quiet cul-de-sac, this extended three-bedroom detached bungalow suits over-60s looking to downsize without compromising space. The single-storey layout is move-in ready, with a bright modern kitchen/breakfast room, two shower rooms and a large detached double garage plus driveway parking. Landscaped front and rear gardens and solar panels add low-maintenance outdoor space and energy advantage.
This property is being offered with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £396,500 (guide, based on an average 33% saving). The full market price is £600,000; the actual Lifetime Lease price depends on age, circumstances and any share purchased (up to 50%). Only those aged 60+ are eligible for the Home for Life plan—non-eligible buyers may purchase at the full market price.
Practical points to note: the bungalow dates from the 1930s–1940s and has cavity walls assumed without added insulation, and council tax is described as expensive. The plot is large and the layout offers potential to reconfigure or further modernise if desired, but any past extensions should be verified for planning and building regulation consent.
For retirees seeking a roomy, single-level home near Rochester town centre and rail links, this property combines convenience, generous garage space and adaptable living. Interested buyers should verify tenure, fixtures, extensions and exact price calculations with solicitors and the Homewise calculator or a personalised quote.
