Detached 3-bed retreat on 0.4-acre plot — Lifetime Lease option for over-60s.
Lifetime Lease guide price £469,000 (illustrative; full market £700,000)
A secluded, detached three-double-bedroom home set within about 0.4 acres of woodland-edged garden — ideal for someone seeking privacy and countryside living. The house blends period charm (timber-frame cottage character, exposed brick and engineered oak floors) with practical modern comforts such as a shaker-style kitchen, utility room and double glazing fitted after 2002. Outside there's a pond, decking, a bespoke garden bar, a 7x3m workshop and parking for multiple cars.
The property is being shown with a Homewise Home for Life example price: a Lifetime Lease guide price of £469,000 (illustrative saving versus the full market price of £700,000). The Lifetime Lease is available only to buyers aged 60+ and the actual price depends on age and individual circumstances; Homewise do not own the property and it remains available at full market value. Tenure details are not confirmed here — purchasers should get solicitor verification.
Practical points to note: the house has a single ground-floor shower room only, and the building is a timber frame assumed to have no insulation (buyers should check insulation and services). There is lapsed planning permission for a 9m x 4m double-storey extension, offering scope for enlargement subject to consent. Broadband is average; mobile signal is excellent and local crime is very low.
This home suits a purchaser seeking a quiet, rural retirement lifestyle with room for gardening, hobby workshops and sympathetic updating rather than a turnkey lock-up-and-leave. Verify all measurements, services and legal/title matters before committing — particularly if you plan alterations or wish to use the Homewise Lifetime Lease option.
