Situated in a quiet rural location on the edge of Newbury an attractive converted barn providing unique accommodation together with 3.5 acres.

Description:
The vendors of the property have created an attractive and very individual property from a traditional farm barn. Once part of Highwood Farm the property is in a secluded location but is not isolated as the original farmhouse is still close by. The Barn has been very sympathetically converted so that a great deal of the original charm of the building has been retained but this is combined with modern features including an impressive kitchen/family room with a wall of glass beyond which is the garden. The accommodation is very flexible as there are three ground floor bedrooms which can be used as additional reception rooms if required and in addition there is a mezzanine bedroom which is ideal for guests. The property offers over 3000 ft.² of accommodation which includes a wonderful sitting room which is triple aspect and has a double height vaulted ceiling with original timbers and steps leading to a mezzanine which is an ideal study. In addition to the impressive kitchen, there is a walk-in larder, a separate utility and a separate dining room. The property has been well maintained and is presented to a high standard throughout.

Outside:
The Barn is approached by a gravel drive providing ample parking and access to an original garage with adjoining storage area. To the rear of the property there is a very practical oak framed building providing a double carport with adjoining workshop with power and lighting. Directly behind the house there is a paved terrace for outside entertaining beyond which the garden is all grass and contains a variety of trees and shrubs. On the west side of the property the land rises and there is an area of paddock from which there are lovely views over the surrounding countryside.

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.
