The leisure centre, tennis and golf clubs provide excellent sporting facilities too.

Description

Romans Halt, once three cottages, is a delightful Grade II listed character property of timber frame and painted brick elevations under a thatched roof and relieved by timber casement windows with diamond leading. The property has recently (February 2024) been completely rethatched and is understood to have been built in C16-C17, benefitting from an abundance of period charm and character throughout.

The house has excellent ground floor accommodation, with well-proportioned rooms throughout. Of particular note is the traditional and well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room with lovely stone flooring which benefits from an Aga and plenty of built in cupboards for storage. The spacious reception room, which has an inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove, provides a wonderful space to sit and relax and has doors leading through to the study and to the garden. Both the reception room and grand dining room offer wonderful space to entertain and enjoy a south facing aspect, giving a light and airy feel to the rear of the property. A cloakroom completes the downstairs.

Stairs lead from the reception room to the first floor where you find the substantial principal bedroom (with ensuite bathroom), which enjoys stunning views over the garden. There are two further good-sized double bedrooms, a single bedroom and a family bathroom.

Annexe

The annexe is an ideal place for visitors to stay with two large double bedrooms and a well appointed bathroom. There is a large reception area and also a utility room. It makes for extremely useful additional accommodation and would also make a wonderful home office, should there be the need. There is also a large loft area offering excellent extra storage space.

Outside

There is off road parking at the end of garden accessed off Church Lane and the property sits on a plot of just under a third of an acre. The private garden is enclosed by trees and hedging and is mainly laid to lawn with colourful flower borders. It really is a gardeners paradise and there are raised beds for growing your own plants and vegetables. There's also a greenhouse and garden shed.

There is a brick paved patio area by the house perfect for alfresco dining and a path leading down to the annexe.

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.
