Rural three-bed cottage with garden — Lifetime Lease option for over-60s.
Three bedrooms and one bathroom in a traditional semi-detached cottage layout
This three-bedroom semi-detached cottage in Cheriton Bishop sits in a tranquil rural hamlet, ideal for someone seeking a quieter retirement base. The house offers a comfortable, traditional layout across about 941 sq ft with a small private garden and a bright, contemporary living room with parquet flooring and a fireplace. Crime in the area is very low and flood risk is nil, supporting peaceful, low-maintenance living.
The Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease makes this property particularly relevant to buyers aged 60 and over: the market price is listed at £315,000 while the guide Lifetime Lease price shown is £211,000 (typical saving around 33%). Under that plan buyers can buy up to a 50% share to protect part of the property value; actual price depends on age, personal circumstances and chosen share. If you are under 60 you can still purchase at the full market price.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important: broadband speeds are slow and the location is remote, which may affect working from home, streaming or device updates despite excellent mobile signal. There is a single bathroom and tenure/lease details are not confirmed here — all buyers should instruct a solicitor to verify tenure, fixtures, fittings and any planning history before committing.
Overall this is a suitable, modest-sized retirement cottage with countryside character and potential for light updating. It will appeal to downsizers who prioritise rural calm, low crime and a lower-cost Lifetime Lease route, but anyone needing fast broadband or more communal amenities should check local services and verified property details carefully.
