Summary - 18 STOUR VALLEY CLOSE UPSTREET CANTERBURY CT3 4DB
3 bed 1 bath Chalet
Quiet village chalet with powered outbuilding and Homewise Lifetime Lease option.
Large semi‑detached chalet with versatile, traditional layout
Set on a quiet no-through road in the village of Upstreet, this semi‑detached chalet offers generous, well‑presented living space across a traditional layout. The ground floor provides comfortable day rooms and a practical kitchen, while a large first‑floor principal bedroom with en suite adds flexibility for guests or a ground-floor carer. A powered outbuilding extends usable space for hobby, studio or occasional living use.
This property is offered freehold and is suitable as a retirement home. Over‑60s can choose to buy via the Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease: the example guide price for that scheme is £297,000 (market value £450,000) — actual Lifetime Lease cost varies by age and circumstances and may involve buying up to a 50% share to safeguard value. If you do not use the Lifetime Lease option, the full market price applies.
Practical notes: the house dates from the late 1960s–1970s, has double glazing (install date unknown) and oil‑fired boiler heating, so running costs reflect oil fuel. Broadband speeds in the area are reported slow. The plot is a decent size with off‑street parking and low local crime, making it an attractive quiet retirement location with nearby primary and secondary schools for visiting family.
Overall this chalet will suit a buyer seeking a spacious, move‑in property in a peaceful village setting, especially buyers 60+ considering a Lifetime Lease saving. It does require awareness of oil heating costs and limited broadband performance; purchasers should verify all technical and legal details before committing.
