A compact ground-floor retirement flat set within a low-rise 1950s development in Southgate, Crawley. The bright lounge/diner opens via patio doors onto communal gardens and the re-fitted bathroom and double glazing make this an easy-to-manage home. The property includes a garage en bloc for parking or storage and gas central heating with radiators.
This is offered through the Home for Life Lifetime Lease scheme for buyers aged 60+, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £126,000 (market value £190,000). The plan allows purchasers to buy up to 50% of the property value and typically reduces the upfront cost by about a third; exact price depends on age and circumstances. Leasehold details show around 85 years remaining; average service charge is £1,164 and ground rent is listed at £10 (verify legally).
At about 440 sq ft this is a small home suited to a single person or couple looking to downsize. It sits in an area described as an urban cultural mix with faster broadband and strong mobile signal, but note local crime is above average and the wider area records higher deprivation — factors to consider for long-term comfort and security.
Prospective buyers should confirm lease specifics, service charge inclusions, and any outstanding maintenance responsibilities (walls assumed uninsulated). The property is currently occupied by owners and is advertised as suitable for retirement living; viewing will best serve those seeking a low-maintenance ground-floor flat with outside space and parking.
