DESCRIPTION
A remarkable modern property that was built blending traditional local materials with a contemporary design; Oak framed wings, attached to the central Cotswold stone centre, under a slate tile roof. The accommodation is designed around the want for space and volume, the oak framed wings creating expansive rooms with vaulted ceilings and large glazed windows overlooking its immaculate gardens. The entrance hall leads into a library and reception area off which an inner hall leads into the breath-taking 29’ x 44’ drawing room. This is a wonderful open plan and versatile space, offering superb acoustics, with a large piano in one corner and living space at the far end, perfect for parties. Stairs lead up to a large mezzanine study. At the far end of the house a formal dining room leads through to another spacious open plan kitchen/ family room with far reaching views with a Mark Wilkinson hand built kitchen and a central island workstation. It has an Aga and doors from this room as with the other principal rooms open into the south facing garden.
The first floor provides three en suite double bedrooms, the master bedroom boasting a large walkthrough dressing room. The adjoining coach house provides guest accommodation, with two bedrooms, a kitchen and a sitting room The gardens are a delight; interlinking ponds around a paved terrace outside the kitchen leading onto a level lawn with central lavender lined walkway which leads out to the countryside it overlooks in a southerly aspect. A large hedgerow has a gate that opens into a fabulous Japanese garden, designed around a large pond with a pretty bridge over it. At the far side is a decked terrace taking in the elevated rural views to the south. This elevated decked area has a wood built Shepherd's Hut with power and lighting giving a perfect sewing room/home office/summerhouse. A shared tree lined drive leads around a turning circle to private gates leading into a gravel driveway parking area leading to extensive garaging.

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
  • Their wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
  • They offer more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
  • They can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
  • They are typically easier to get in contact with, and are less bureaucratic.

However advantages of working with your bank are:

  • You may be able to build off an existing relationship (and gain discounts if you have a checking or savings account)
  • You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
  • Banks may be more accountable than a smaller shop
  • They may offer lower interest rates in some cases
  • Their ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.

When you see a property you are interested in on our website, call us 24/7 to arrange a viewing. Or if you prefer, get in touch via our website and we will call you back to find a time to view the property that suits you.

Once you’ve found a property you want to buy, it’s time to make an offer. 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.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.

Or if you’re considering letting your property, we can take the stress out of managing your rental, and our award winning lettings team offer a service that can be tailored to your needs.
