A modern detached house, built in 2000, with lovely gardens, a paddock and breathtaking views across open countryside.
Spanning 2,923 sq ft across two floors, The Lodge is a beautifully proportioned home with generously sized rooms throughout. It is accessed via a gravel driveway that leads to a double garage with automatic doors. Above the garage is a versatile space, which, subject to planning approval, offers the potential for conversion into additional living or office space. Upon entering the home, you’re greeted by a spacious entrance hall that opens into a light-filled, dual-aspect living room. At its heart, a ‘Clearview’ log-burner and fireplace provide a cozy focal point. Double doors at the rear of the room lead into the kitchen/ breakfast room, which features timber units and a central breakfast island. From here, the garden room offers lovely views over the well-maintained grounds. The ground floor is further complemented by a study, a utility room, a WC, and rear access to the garage. Upstairs, the first floor boasts three spacious bedrooms, each equipped with built-in storage. The master bedroom offers a walk-in dressing room and an impressive en-suite bathroom, complete with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and a large bathtub. Its dual-aspect windows frame sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. The additional two bedrooms are bright, airy, and well-sized, while the family bathroom, located off the landing, serves the remaining bedrooms. The Lodge benefits from zoned underfloor heating throughout, enhanced by a heat recovery system, which allows for flexibility in furniture arrangement as there are no radiators to consider. Outside, the gardens are impeccably maintained, with vibrant borders and mature trees providing structure and seasonal interest. Enclosed by Cotswold stone wall and a mature hedgerow at the rear, the outdoor space is as charming as it is private. Direct access from the garden leads to a paddock that surrounds the land extending to around 3 acres approximately.

The next steps...
1
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.
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.
