He had spent the majority of his life living on his family's farm before moving into assisted care facility Marleyfield House
A pensioner has moved out of his care home and become the UK's oldest first-time buyer after being determined to have his own property to ‘spend his last days in’.
He had spent the majority of his life living on his family's farm before moving into assisted care facility Marleyfield House, where he lived for the last year. But Simon had always dreamed of owning his own home - and is now looking forward to spending the last years of his life in the bungalow, the Mirror reports.
She said: "Simon's always maintained that he wants to spend the last years of his life in his own place, and he's absolutely delighted to have the keys to his new bungalow. He has solar panels on the roof and thought that means he'll be getting free electricity."
