This 3-bedroom semi offers spacious, versatile accommodation across approximately 1,459 sq ft with three reception rooms and a conservatory. Substantial mature gardens, a garage and off-road parking provide practical outdoor space and storage. The interior is described as immaculate but sits in a 1950s–1960s-built shell that may suit those seeking classic period character with scope for gentle updating.
The property is being promoted as suitable for over-60s through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease from Homewise. That plan typically reduces the upfront cost compared with full market value; an indicative Lifetime Lease guide price for this property is £201,000 (market value £300,000). Customers aged 60+ can also choose to purchase a percentage share (up to 50%) to safeguard capital — the exact price varies by age and personal circumstances.
Important practical points are made plainly: the vendor states the property is freehold but buyers should have solicitors verify tenure and any covenants. There is a medium flood risk noted for the area, and double glazing installation date is unknown. Heating is by a mains gas boiler and radiators; cavity walls are filled. These factors, and the property’s 1950s–1960s construction, should be considered when budgeting for maintenance or insurance.
This house will appeal most to purchasers seeking a roomy, well-presented retirement property with roomy gardens and convenient parking, who value the financial flexibility of a Lifetime Lease. For buyers not eligible for the Lifetime Lease, the full market price is shown and normal purchase routes apply.
