A charming three double bedroom detached country cottage in the heart of Ogbourne St George, a picturesque village on the outskirts of Marlborough.

Description

Kingscot is a stunning three double bedroom detached country cottage set in the heart of Ogbourne St George, a picturesque village 4 miles to the north of Marlborough.

Dating back to 1840, this home has a genuinely lovely feel throughout and enjoys an abundance of charm and character. The front entrance of this double fronted home leads into a small hall, off which the main reception rooms are accessed.

The double reception room is dual aspect with views to the front from the sitting room end, and French doors from the playroom to the rear terrace. The sitting room, a spacious yet cosy space, is centred around the wood burning stove, and is opened up to the playroom area, where there is an abundance of built-in cupboards. This area could also make a great study or formal dining area.

The generous kitchen / breakfast room is a fabulous room and very much the heart of the home. It has a lovely, farmhouse feel to it with tiled floor, exposed beams, wood burning stove, large pantry cupboard and pretty window seats in the two windows at the front. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the large utility room and downstairs cloakroom.

It’s not very often that you find a character cottage with three good sized bedrooms but Kingscot has three double bedrooms. The main bedroom is a great size and enjoys a modern ensuite shower room. The two further bedrooms are served by the stylish family bathroom.

Outside

The garden wraps around on three sides and offers three individual garden and terrace areas. The main garden is to the side of the house and is stocked with pretty country-cottage flower borders and has a picket fence surrounding it. A driveway leads to two parking spaces to the rear of the property, where there is a handy shed for additional storage.

Situation

Kingscot is located in Ogbourne St George, a picturesque village set at the foot of the Marlborough Downs amidst rolling countryside between Marlborough and Swindon. The village provides local amenities including a primary school (Ofsted Good), Little Dragons pre-school (Ofsted Outstanding), church, village hall and golf course. The pub, The Silks on the Downs, is located in nearby Ogbourne St. Andrew and has a calendar of great community events. It is within 4 miles of Marlborough and its range of schooling, shopping and recreational facilities. The M4 junction is about 4 miles away and there is excellent access to the rail network from Swindon, Great Bedwyn and Pewsey (London Paddington in about an hour). The surrounding countryside is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and there is easy access to the surrounding countryside from a network of footpaths and bridleways within the village.

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.

When you see a property you are interested in on our website, call us 24/7 to arrange a viewing. Or if you prefer, get in touch via our website and we will call you back to find a time to view the property that suits you.

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.

If you have a property to sell, why not see how we can help you.
