Summary - 47 RECTORY WAY KENNINGTON ASHFORD TN24 9RE
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Chain-free end-terrace with Lifetime Lease option for over-60s.
3 bedrooms, lounge/diner and small manageable garden with powered summerhouse
Quiet cul-de-sac living with flexible ownership: this three-bedroom terraced home in Kennington offers practical space and garden privacy for downsizers seeking value. Internally the property is neutrally presented with a recently fitted kitchen and bathroom, a long lounge/diner and a useful summerhouse with power and light. It is offered chain-free and has been sold only twice since construction in the 1980s.
For over-60s there is a Home for Life Lifetime Lease option through Homewise, with a guide Lifetime Lease price of £185,500 (typical saving around 33% against the full market price of £280,000). The plan can allow purchase of up to a 50% share to safeguard capital for the future — a genuine alternative to a full-market purchase for eligible buyers.
Practical considerations are plainly stated: the listing records a regularly serviced boiler but tenancy data also notes no central heating system present and electric heaters may be relied upon; prospective buyers should verify heating details. The plot is small, the area has higher crime and deprivation indicators, and there is only one bathroom. These factors affect suitability and resale potential, so check locality and running costs carefully.
This home will suit a downsizer wanting manageable rooms, outdoor space and an affordable ownership route, or an investor seeking a straightforward let in a convenient area close to local amenities and good schools. A viewing will clarify heating, tenure paperwork and whether the Lifetime Lease option meets your financial plans.
