White Cottage is one of those unique properties that has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The house has been subject to one of the most striking and impressive renovation projects of a listed period cottage that potential purchasers are likely to come across. The accommodation is beautifully presented throughout with superb period features including herringbone flooring, exposed timbers and inglenook fireplaces. The kitchen is a very high quality with bespoke solid ash units with granite worktops and a paviour brick floor. The three bedrooms, two with original fireplaces, are served by a ground floor shower room and a large bathroom with roll top bath with shower over.

The property occupies a good-sized private plot close to the centre of the village. It is beautifully landscaped and maintained with established, laurel hedging giving it nice levels of seclusion. The gardens are mainly to lawn with a lovely, secluded paved al-fresco dining and relaxation area. There is also a vegetable garden. The detached garage, with up and over door, and the parking is approached via a shared cul-de-sac which leads around the back of the house – a pedestrian gate then leads to the garden and the house.

White Cottage occupies a convenient position on the High Street within walking distance of many of the varied amenities this popular village has to offer. These amenities include doctors’ and dentist’s surgeries, a primary school, chemist, several convenience stores, a butchers’ and bakers, public houses, a delicatessen, café and post office.

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.

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.
