Description

Steeped in history, The Old Bakery once formed The Old Post Office stores and is now a family home full of period charm and character, including exposed beams, original flooring, Inglenook fireplace and even the original bread ovens from when the property was a working bakery.

The property offers flexible and versatile living spaces, including the kitchen/breakfast room, sitting room and dining room. There is also a very usual boot room upon entering the property with a built-in pantry where the bread ovens were. There is also a downstairs bedroom with bathroom, utility room and shower room, which could be utilised as an annexe for older generations or older children.

Upstairs there are four bedrooms, two of which have built in wardrobes. The bedrooms are all served by the well-appointed family bathroom.

Outside

The house is approached via double wooden gates which open onto the driveway parking and access to the triple garage and workshop spaces. There is a paved patio area which is the perfect spot of sitting out in the sunshine. Steps lead up the garden which is mainly laid to lawn and interspersed with mature trees and has mature flower and shrub borders. Above the garaging is the games room, which is the perfect place for teenagers to hang out and could be converted into a separate annexe with the appropriate planning permissions. There is a further area of garden which is currently left to wild but could be utilised into more formal garden space. The plot in total extends to approx. a quarter of an acre and has lovely views of the neighbouring paddock.

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
Wholesale interest rates can be lower than retail (bank branch) interest rates
You get more loan options because they work with numerous banks and lenders
Brokers can finance tricky deals because of their knowledge and various lending partners
Are typically easier to get in contact with, less bureaucratic.

However with your bank maybe able to:

Build off existing relationship (discounts if you have a checking/saving account)
You may already know the banker who will handle your mortgage
Perhaps more trustworthy, more accountable than a smaller shop
Lower interest rates in some cases
Ability to add mortgage to existing banking profile and make automatic payments from linked account.
