Set on a generous corner plot in Walderslade, this end-of-terrace three-bedroom home offers substantial outside space, private driveway parking and scope to personalise. The property is modest in size (approximately 799 sq ft) and sits in a comfortable neighbourhood with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — practical for everyday living.
For eligible buyers aged 60 and over there is an option to buy via the Home for Life Lifetime Lease. The advertised Lifetime Lease guide price for this property is £198,500 (based on a typical saving of around 33% from the £300,000 market value). The exact price varies by age and circumstances; the plan also allows purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard capital.
The house is dated in places and will suit someone prepared to update fixtures and finishes. Interiors include a small living room with parquet flooring and a modest kitchen/dining arrangement; there is a single bathroom. Double glazing is in place but was installed before 2002 and some modernisation of heating and internal finishes is likely required.
Notable positives are the end-of-terrace position that enhances light and privacy, large front, side and rear gardens with extension potential (subject to planning), and off-street parking. Important negatives to note: the property is relatively small, has only one bathroom, and the local area records above-average crime and pockets of deprivation — buyers should check suitability and safety for their needs.
