This two-bedroom semi-detached bungalow on Darwin Crescent offers single-storey living well suited to buyers aged 60+ seeking a manageable, low-step home. The property is a traditional post‑war build with solar panels, a decent rear garden and private driveway, arranged over approximately 638 sq ft. Interiors are average-sized with two bedrooms and a single bathroom — compact but practical for retirement or downsizing.
The Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise is available to over‑60s, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £154,000 based on an average saving; full market value is £230,000. The exact price a buyer would pay depends on age, circumstances and any percentage share purchased (up to 50%). Prospective buyers should use Homewise tools or request a personalised quote to confirm costs.
Important practical points: tenure/lease details have not been confirmed and must be checked by your solicitor. The home sits in an area classified as ageing urban communities with higher local deprivation indicators — useful to know for long‑term resale and local services. Broadband is fast and mobile signal is excellent, and there is no flood risk for the property.
Overall this bungalow suits a retired buyer wanting a modest, low‑maintenance home with easy access to local shops and buses. It offers clear downsizing potential but comes with the usual checks: legal tenure verification, potential updating works and the need to confirm Lifetime Lease terms before committing.
