A charming three bedroom cottage with stunning gardens and driveway parking in the highly desirable village of Wilton.
Description
Located in a secluded position in the heart of this most popular of Wiltshire villages, Hideaway Cottage is a charming three bedroom house with a detached home office/garden room at the rear of the garden.
At 1357 square feet, the house enjoys great proportions and is presented to a high standard throughout. The welcoming entrance hall leads off to the modern kitchen / breakfast room, which has been cleverly designed with a good range of fitted units.
The sitting room is a spacious yet cosy space, overlooking the garden and centred around the woodburning stove. This room has a lovely, comfortable feel and leads seamlessly through to the conservatory and garden beyond. The ground floor accommodation is completed by the study and cloakroom.
Heading upstairs, there is a truly impressive principal bedroom overlooking the garden with exposed beams and a vaulted ceiling, complete with an en-suite shower room and generous fitted wardrobes. It also enjoys full length windows which open out onto a glazed balcony. There are two further bedrooms (one double and one single) which are served by the well-appointed family bathroom. In addition, there is a large and very handy boarded loft, offering excellent additional storage.
Outside
The cottage is approached across a shared drive through iron gates to its own private driveway, offering ample space for parking.
The gardens are mainly set across a small stream, accessed by a wooden bridge, and principally laid to lawn with a range of mature trees and shrubs.
At the rear is an extremely useful and spacious garden room, which makes an ideal home office in this peaceful setting. Outside, there is a decked terrace offering the perfect place for entertaining and beneath is a timber outbuilding, great for garden/bike storage with power and water, including a w.c.
Should there be the need for more space, it should be noted that there is lapsed planning permission for a one bedroom annexe on the driveway (https://development.wiltshire.gov.uk/pr/s/planning-application/a0i3z000014dZ47AAE/k58378f).

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.
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.
