Description

The Old School House is a three bedroom period semi-detached cottage, conveniently situated just off the Bath Road between Marlborough and Hungerford. The cottage is constructed of rendered whitewashed elevations, under a clay tiled roof and was originally the school house, before being converted to this single dwelling.

The downstairs accommodation has an attractive and unusual layout, with a good size sitting room featuring an open fire and leading off the central hallway a dining area. The third bedroom, currently being utilised as an office, is located on the ground floor and has an abundance of built in cupboards. The kitchen is galley style and would benefit from updating, with the family bathroom adjacent.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms, with the principal room enjoying an ensuite shower room. There is also an additional dressing room/study.

Outside

The garden is generously proportioned and very private, being partly walled and fully enclosed. Mainly laid to lawn, the garden is divided into two parts, and planted with a good selection of shrubs, perennials and trees. There is a large brick and flint outbuilding at the bottom of the garden. On street parking.

Situation

The Old School House is situated in the popular village of Froxfield, on the Wiltshire/Berkshire borders to the west of Hungerford. There is a church and a pub in the village and the well regarded Stepping Stones Nursery. There are two further public houses, a village shop, post office (with bakery), doctors surgery and train station in Great Bedwyn, which is approximately 2 miles away. Cobbs Farm Shop is a short distance from the house.

The house is within a short drive of both market towns of Marlborough and Hungerford, each with excellent shopping facilities, leisure facilities and schools. The M4 motorway junctions 14 (Shefford Woodlands) and 15 (Chiseldon) are within reasonable driving distance and main line train services are available from Swindon, Hungerford and Great Bedwyn.

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.
