Potentially the finest house in Lambourn. An attractive Grade II Listed period house providing extensive accommodation together with garden and paddock of approximately 2.45 acres, in need of extensive modernisation and restoration.

Description:
The property is a substantial Grade II Listed detached house offering over 3600 ft.² of accommodation. The house has retained a great deal of its original charm and character with many original features. In the past it was a very stylish and lovely home but is now in need of extensive restoration. The large reception hall is a particular feature of the house and there are three further reception rooms on the ground floor, all with good proportions and high ceilings, with the two main reception rooms having French doors leading out to the rear garden. Typical for a house of this period there is a small kitchen and associated utility and scullery areas together with an adjoining sunroom. On the first floor there is a central landing, a principal bedroom with ensuite bathroom, three further bedrooms and the family bathroom. There is also a self-contained one-bedroom flat which has separate side access via an external staircase. This can also be accessed internally from the landing so can be used as part of the main house.

Outside:
The house is approached through a handsome set of gates beyond which is an ample drive providing plenty of parking with an impressive copper beech tree to one side and is mainly walled with the River Lambourn flowing along one boundary. On the northern side there is a second access which leads to the detached stable building which contains the original stable fittings and a hayloft above. The secondary drive extends to the rear of the property where there is access into the garden as well as to the attractive original greenhouse. The garden is fully enclosed and very private and there is a gate leading directly into the paddock beyond which also has separate access to the rear. In all the garden and paddock is about 2.45 acres.

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.
