A compact studio in a quiet residential development, the flat offers easy, low-maintenance living close to local shops and transport. The open-plan living/bedroom, separate fitted kitchen and modern bathroom make it move-in ready for someone seeking simplicity and convenience.
This property is marketed with the Home for Life Lifetime Lease option for those aged 60+, which can reduce the upfront cost (typical savings 20–50%). An indicative Lifetime Lease guide price for this flat is £83,750; actual price varies by age and personal circumstances. If you prefer, the full market price is £125,000. All buyers should obtain a personalised quote and confirm figures on the Homewise website.
Practical features include allocated off-street parking, double glazing, very fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Key negatives to note: the area records higher crime and is classified as deprived, heating is by electric storage heaters, and lease/tenure details must be verified by a solicitor. The studio’s compact layout limits living space but suits low‑maintenance retirement use or a rental investment.
This is best for an over‑60 buyer seeking an affordable, easy-care home with flexible financing via a Lifetime Lease. Verify lease length, service charges and any energy costs before committing.
