The property is being offered with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for over-60s: the stated Lifetime Lease guide price is £858,500 (based on an indicative 33% saving from the £1,300,000 market price). Actual Lifetime Lease cost varies with age, circumstances and any share of the property you choose to buy (up to 50%). Buyers under 60 may purchase at the full market price.
Notable practical facts: the house has 3-phase power and fibre-optic broadband, extensive parking, an active self-maintained lake, and outbuildings/stables that may be replaced on a like-for-like basis. Heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, and some walls are assumed to have partial insulation.
Important drawbacks you should know: the property is assessed as high flood risk and sits in an isolated hamlet setting, which may affect insurance and access in severe weather. The house dates from circa 1976–82 and will need ongoing maintenance for the grounds and older elements (stables, oil tank, listed services). Prospective buyers should verify planning, building regulation consents and all service conditions.
