Description:
Bowdown Cottage offers an exciting opportunity for an incoming purchaser to put their own stamp on the property to create a beautiful family home in a stunning setting. The house itself is an attractive period house, possibly dating from the 1920s, and originally part of the neighbouring house. The house is connected to the former coach house/stables of Bowdown House by the west wing which comprises a workshop/old stable with first floor accommodation above which was added in 1974 to form guest bedrooms. The property offers spacious and very flexible accommodation with large characterful open reception spaces on the ground floor and 5/6 bedrooms upstairs which are accessed by 3 staircases. Upstairs could be configured in several ways and is currently laid out with a principal bedroom, dressing room and bathroom. A passageway leads through to a further 2 bedrooms served by a shower room and 2 other bedrooms and a bathroom are access via a staircase in the workshop. Due to the layout the property a self-contained annex could easily be created.

Outside:
The property is approached from the road via a long shared driveway with a gravel drive meandering through woodland to a pair of brick pillars providing access into a courtyard for parking and garaging. The grounds to the property are a real feature of the property giving complete privacy and seclusion and are made up with a combination of lawns, potential paddocks, orchard and woodland. Within the grounds there is an old brick greenhouse with adjoining apple sheds and a small brick outbuilding.

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
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.
