Period three-bed with stained glass, orangery and Lifetime Lease option for over-60s.
Victorian semi with high ceilings and stained-glass windows
A handsome Victorian semi-detached home that keeps its period soul while offering practical, comfortable living for later years. High ceilings, stained-glass windows, Minton tiles and cast-iron fireplaces give the principal rooms strong character; two large receptions and a fitted kitchen provide flexible space for visitors, hobbies or quieter days at home. The orangery connects indoors to a private, walled cottage-style garden and there’s a long brick store (over seven metres) ideal for a home office, workshop or gym.
This property is being marketed with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease example for buyers aged 60+, which typically reduces the upfront purchase cost versus full market value (guide Lifetime Lease price shown £217,750; market value £325,000). The plan also allows purchase of up to 50% of the property’s value to safeguard equity. Actual Lifetime Lease price varies by age and circumstances; use the Homewise calculator or request a personalised quote for precise figures.
Practical points to note: the home sits on a small plot and crime levels are reported above average locally. The solid brick walls are likely uninsulated (as-built), and double glazing install dates are unknown — energy-efficiency improvements or insulation upgrades may be needed. Tenure is understood to be freehold but buyers should have solicitors verify. Overall, this period home will particularly suit over-60s seeking character, garden privacy and the option of a lowered-cost Lifetime Lease, while buyers should budget for potential retrofit works and conduct standard legal and condition checks.
