Situated in this very attractive and popular village, surrounded by beautiful countryside, yet with excellent road and rail links, an interesting attached cottage with a range of adjoining garages providing an opportunity for conversion into additional accommodation.

Description:
Downlands is a unique property that offers very
comfortable two-bedroom accommodation but has the advantage of an adjoining garage building/barn providing a huge opportunity for the accommodation to be extended subject to planning permission. Currently the cottage and garages are in the ownership of the Rectory but are to be separated so that Downlands has its own private drive and garden but will still adjoin an annex and studio belonging to the Rectory to the rear of the buildings.

The cottage currently offers a spacious hallway, separate WC, modern kitchen and a sitting room. From the sitting room there are double doors into a lean-to style conservatory/storeroom. Upstairs there is a landing, a double bedroom with built-in wardrobe, a second bedroom and bathroom.

Outside:
The property is approached by a gravelled drive offering parking and access to the garages. The garages are currently arranged so that adjoining the cottage is a single garage which has a dividing wall separating it from the remainder of the building which offers a triple garage. There is a large loft area above the garages and there is
power and lighting. This garage space could be used for cars, storage or could be converted to create additional accommodation if required. To the front of the cottage, there is an attractive and good-sized garden which has a sunny south and west facing aspect. The cottage and garages are not Listed.

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.
