The sitting room is of a generous proportion featuring the open fireplace with wood burning stove. The kitchen is a lovely cottage kitchen with wood worktops and opens out to the dining area, large enough to fit a good-sized table and doors opening out to the paved terrace. A modern shower room completes the downstairs accommodation.

The upstairs accommodation comprises of a main bedroom which is of very generous proportions. There are two further bedrooms, one being a good sized double and the other being a large single, which is currently utilised as a home office. All the bedrooms are served by the well-appointed family bathroom.

Although a period cottage, the property has a lovely welcoming and light feel throughout and offers ample storage.

The house is approached from the village street via a wooden gate and path leading to the front door, flanked by mature trees and fully stocked flower and shrub borders, a typical cottage garden with an array of colour, enclosed by 3ft fencing and brick walling.

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.
