This three-bedroom detached bungalow sits in a peaceful village setting on Bekesbourne Hill, offered with a Home for Life Lifetime Lease guide price of £297,500 (full market price £450,000).

The house has been lived in for decades and presents as a well cared-for home with character features including a feature log burner and double glazing. Outside there is a mature rear garden with fruit trees, a driveway and a garage with an electric door. Oil-fired boiler and radiators provide heating; broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average in the area.
Practical points to note: there is a single bathroom, the property is average-sized at about 826 sq ft and council tax is above average. The bungalow offers scope for light refurbishment or reconfiguration should a new owner wish to update finishes or services. Flood risk is low and the setting is very affluent with country walks from the doorstep, making it an appealing retirement move for those seeking a rural village lifestyle.
