Set within a private close beside Stratton Woods, this contemporary four-bedroom detached home offers a peaceful, low-maintenance base for over-60s seeking to downsize without compromising space. The house has a long dual-aspect lounge, open-plan kitchen/diner with a bright glass room ideal for a home office or hobby space, and a rear garden with lawn and patio for outdoor relaxation.
This property is marketed with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease example pricing: the full market price is £465,000 while a typical Homewise Lifetime Lease guide price shown here is £311,500 (based on an illustrative 33% saving). Only applicants aged 60+ are eligible for Home for Life; actual price and any safeguarded share (up to 50%) depend on age and personal circumstances. The plan can significantly reduce upfront cost but customers should get a personalised quote or use the Homewise calculator for an indicative figure.
Practical positives include off-street parking, a garage space now converted into a usable home office, no onward chain, and a non-overlooked position close to local schools, shops and green space. Notable constraints: tenure details are unconfirmed and must be checked by your solicitor; broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow; the plot is small and the house sits on a compact garden. All measurements and fixture/service conditions should be independently verified.
This property suits purchasers aged 60+ seeking a modern, ready-to-live-in house with flexible living areas and easy access to woodland and transport links. It also offers potential security by buying a safeguarded share under a Lifetime Lease, but buyers should weigh the long-term implications and obtain full legal and financial advice before proceeding.
