to create a unique house to an incredibly desirable architectural design in this hugely appealing location. The old coaching Inn sits in an envious position overlooking the 13th century Farleigh Hungerford Castle, off of which the boundary wraps around. The views continue down the River Frome Valley across to Iford Manor, providing breath-taking scenery which the design and orientation of the house has made the very most of.
Apart from the original beer cellar that still remains, the proposed accommodation spans across two floors, incorporating the original buildings, whilst the modern extensions will be placed on the back of the building, to allow for open plan modern living with glass walls to admire the vista. This will create a superb kitchen/dining/living space with a curved glass wall and also a square glass extension.
At the front of the building is the original bar room, with open fireplaces and retaining the original wooden bar with its beer handles, which will form the grand drawing room. This will lead through to ancillary accommodation at the far side of the house, whilst a staircase will lead up to the bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom will have full charge of the incredible views as well as a large en suite bathroom. The guest bedroom at the far end of the house will also have an en suite shower room, whilst the three further bedrooms will share a spacious family bathroom.
Across the driveway from the house is a detached pitched roof triple garage with a self-contained flat or office above. The driveway leads to a large parking area and in front of the house is a lovely garden, taking the views, and leading down to a small copse below with a glade at the bottom, perfect for kids to explore, next to the historic castle.

LOCATION
The position is excellent and historic, neighbouring the 13th century castle, owned by English heritage and the village having evidence of Roman origins. It is a small and very picturesque village, divided by a hump back bridge over the Frome River, popular for wild swimming. Farleigh House, a short distance away is now the home to Bath Rugby team, where they train and the village is surrounded by beautiful country side and woodland, excellent for walking and riding. The larger village of Norton St Philip only half a mile away, has two pubs and a large shop, and Beckington Farm Shop is a short distance away with an award winnng fish and chip shop, and M & S food hall and petrol station. There are excellent nearby schools in both the public and private sectors, to include Monkton Combe, Prior Park, King Edward's, Kingswood and The Royal High School. Also within close proximity is the fashionable hotel, Babington House. The village is equidistance to historic and vibrant Bath and fashionable Frome, both accessed by a regular bus service.

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.
