Summary - PORTHMELLIN STATION ROAD STAPLEHURST TONBRIDGE TN12 0PY
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Large garden, garage and Lifetime Lease option for buyers aged 60 and over.
Four bedrooms with principal en-suite, dressing room and private balcony
Built in the mid-20th century, this four-bedroom detached house sits on a large private plot with a double garage and driveway. The ground floor centers on a generous open-plan kitchen/dining area with quartz worktops, separate utility and patio doors leading to a private, mature rear garden. The living room is large with a log burner; an additional study provides flexible space. Bedroom 1 includes an en-suite, dressing area and a balcony overlooking the garden.
This property is being offered with a Homewise Home for Life Lifetime Lease example price of £495,500 for buyers aged 60+, representing a typical saving versus the full market price of £750,000. The Lifetime Lease allows purchase of up to 50% of the property to safeguard value; actual price depends on age and personal circumstances. If you are under 60 you can still buy at the full market price.
Practical points: the house is freehold, on mains gas with a boiler and radiators, double glazed and assessed as no flood risk. The build era (1950s–1960s) and cavity wall construction (assumed no insulation) mean some energy-efficiency or upgrade work may be desirable. Council tax is noted as quite expensive.
For a buyer aged 60+ seeking a substantial garden, strong parking and flexible living space in Staplehurst’s comfortable suburbia, this property offers retirement suitability with good local amenities. Investors or renovators should budget for possible insulation or modernisation work to improve long-term running costs.
