DESCRIPTION

Castle Cottage is a charming Grade II Listed three-bedroom detached property of colourwashed sarsen elevations under a thatched roof and relieved by a range of period windows, most of which are double glazed. The present owners are selling after 28 years stewardship of this unique house, dating back to the 15th century, having lovingly restored the integrity of the house during this time.

You enter from the side of the property and are welcomed into the large kitchen / breakfast room. There are a range of floor and wall mounted units, tiled floor and a newly installed Smeg range cooker. The utility room and downstairs cloakroom are located off the kitchen.

The dual aspect dining area offers another great entertaining space and is conveniently located between the kitchen and sitting room.

The house has been maintained to exacting standards and boasts a huge amount of charm and character throughout. The sitting room is of generous proportions, yet it retains a cosy feel and looks out over the garden from all four sides. Many of the original features have been retained such as the Inglenook fireplace with bread oven and exposed timber beams.

The main bedroom suite features lovely, exposed beams, a range of built in cupboards
and an ensuite shower room. There are two further bedrooms which are served by the
well-appointed Jack and Jill family bathroom.

OUTSIDE

The cottage is approached by a gravel driveway which offers parking for numerous cars. There is a double garage offering extra parking or storage. Above the garage is a particularly useful studio, which was originally designed as a home office with its own BT Landline.

A key feature of this property is the beautifully maintained and well stocked garden, which surrounds the house. The owners have taken great care in creating and maintaining this impressive garden and there are a wonderful array of plants, shrubs and trees to enjoy. The garden is enclosed by a dry-stone wall to the front and hedging/close board fencing to side and rear. There are views from three sides of the property including the stunning outlook towards the Marlborough Downs. Of particular note is the c2 acre wildflower meadow to the rear of the property.

The next steps...

Establish funds

How will you fund the purchase?

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.
