DESCRIPTION
A Grade II Listed double fronted period farmhouse with local rubble stone elevations and stone mullion windows and doorcase under a Cotswold stone tile roof. The property was extensively refurbished and extended in 2008, as well as creating wheelchair access from the garage/parking area through the garden and ground floor of the property. A metal gate gives pedestrian access through grand stone gateposts leading to the front door via a pretty, formal par terre front garden and seating area. Internally, the property has a wealth of period features, having the original stone surround fireplaces, window seats, and exposed stone walls in the reception rooms at the front of the house, either side of the central hallway. A corridor at the rear leads through to the kitchen/breakfast room with a vaulted ceiling and an Aga fitted into the original stone fire surround. At the far end of the house is a utility room and shower room. Off the kitchen is a later extension forming a lovely garden room, with double aspect windows and double door opening onto the garden. An external workshop ha the boiler and can re-connect into the main house through a closed off door, allowing for a fourth bedroom or living room.
A staircase in the hall leads to the first floor with a spacious landing with two storage cupboards. A main bedroom with a large en suite bathroom sits at one side of the house and at the far side is a bathroom and a further double bedroom. A staircase leads up to an unconverted attic space with potential to convert to further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.
The west facing garden is a real treasure, having been lovingly designed and maintained. A large paved patio leads up to a level lawn with formal square topiary around measured tree planting. There is a small storage outbuilding and to the rear of garden, with access from a rear lane, is a garage with electric up and over door leading to a further parking area and storage space.

The next steps...

Before making an offer on a property you will want to consider your financial situation, your income and outgoings.

Will you finance the purchase of your next property from the sale of an existing property which can put you in a chain, arrange a mortgage through your bank or buy the property outright.
 
To help you finance your next property purchase, we have a long established relationship with an independent mortgage broker who can discuss your situation with you.

Remember that having a 'mortgage decision in principle' can make you a more attractive buyer when you make an offer on a property. Contact our mortgage advisers for free, no obligation and impartial advice.
 
Some advantages of a broker are:

  • They do all the legwork for you, working on your behalf with the lender
  • They compare wholesale mortgage rates from a large number of banks and lenders all at once
  • Wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • You get more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • Brokers can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • Are typically easier to get in contact with, less bureaucratic.

However with your bank maybe able to:

  • Build off existing relationship (discounts if you have a checking/saving account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Perhaps more trustworthy, more accountable than a smaller shop
  • Lower interest rates in some cases
  • Ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When it comes to making an offer on a property a bit of negotiation is to be expected, however don't offer so little that you end up in a lengthy negotiation process, as you might lose the property altogether if someone else makes a higher bid.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
