Private gardens, garage and loft conversion potential for comfortable downsizing.
Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price £335,000 (guide) vs market £500,000
Situated in the peaceful Moat Lane hamlet of Sedlescombe, this detached three-bedroom bungalow offers a single-level living layout well suited to over-60s looking to downsize without compromising space. The sitting room with a log burner, dining room with French doors, and a generous country-style kitchen create comfortable, practical living areas. Outside, very large front and rear gardens, driveway parking and a single garage provide strong outdoor and storage benefits.
The property is offered with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £335,000 (guide only), compared with a market value of £500,000. The Lifetime Lease option is available to purchasers aged 60+, typically delivering indicative savings of around 20–50% depending on age and circumstances; the exact purchase price will vary by individual and any share of the property bought to safeguard funds.
Practical considerations: the bungalow dates from c.1930–1949 and has cavity walls assumed without insulation, so buyers should consider potential upgrade work for thermal performance. There is only one main bathroom and a separate cloakroom. A loft conversion could add space subject to planning permission. Tenure details are not confirmed—solicitor verification is required.
This home suits someone seeking a quiet rural setting with room for gardening, comfortable single-floor living and potential to personalise or extend. The Lifetime Lease route can reduce upfront cost for qualifying buyers, but age eligibility and the variable pricing model mean prospective purchasers should obtain a personalised quote and legal advice before committing.
