An impressive four bedroom detached cottage located in a prime spot in the village, overlooking the green.

Description

Enviably located overlooking the village green, Tilia Cottage is a delightful four bedroom detached Grade II listed thatched cottage.

Over the years the property has been sympathetically extended and modernised to create a comfortable family home and at c3000 square feet, the property enjoys impressive proportions throughout.

On the ground floor there is cosy snug/sitting room and a spacious main sitting room with dining area at one end featuring many exposed beams. Despite its grand proportions and open plan layout, the sitting room has a great feel to it and enjoys clearly defined spaces. The garden room offers an additional reception space and also assists in giving a great flow to the ground floor accommodation.

The farmhouse style kitchen is located at the rear of the property and has direct access to the beautiful garden. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of built in units and appliances, a cream coloured AGA and ample space for a kitchen table.

The first floor is accessed via two separate staircases, with one light and airy landing providing access to all bedrooms. The principal bedroom is dual aspect, overlooks the green and has an ensuite shower room, with the main guest bedroom benefitting from a wash hand basin and built in wardrobes. There are two further bedrooms (one double and one single) and a large, beautifully appointed family bathroom, with separate bath and shower.

Outside

The property is approached via a shared driveway which is owned by Tilia Cottage, and leads up to a large gravelled parking area. There is also a double garage offering additional parking and/or handy space for extra storage.

The gardens are a particular feature of this stunning property. An extensive paved terrace off both the garden room and kitchen provide an ideal spot to enjoy the views over the garden. The garden is enclosed by a combination of fencing and mature hedgerows with a good level of privacy and tranquillity. Colourful shaped borders filled with a plethora of shrubs and perennials, a small orchard, raised vegetable garden and neat lawns provide much variety to this wonderful English cottage garden.

Situation

Tilia Cottage is situated in the popular village of East Grafton, a small picturesque village set around a pretty green in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with an active community. The village lies to the south of the historic Savernake Forest and comprises a large village green, a church, village hall and direct access to the surrounding countryside. East Grafton is in the catchment area of the highly regarded St John’s Marlborough (secondary) and Great Bedwyn School (primary), and the popular Sunflowers pre-school is located in the village. Comprehensive facilities are in both Marlborough and Hungerford 7 and 8 miles respectively. The neighbouring village of Burbage offers a doctors surgery and a garage with a well-stocked shop and post office. Great Bedwyn with more extensive village facilities including a shop, station (Paddington in just over an hour), doctors surgery and a number of sporting clubs is about 4 miles away. Within easy reach are the larger commercial centres of Newbury, Swindon and Salisbury and junction 14 of the M4 is 10 miles away.

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.
