A deceptively spacious and well proportioned family house with a stunning, private garden and extension potential.
Description
Located on the edge of the popular village of Pewsey, yet still within walking distance to all amenities, Waterloo Cottage is a charming period house believed to date back to the 17th Century.
The cottage enjoys a great flow to the accommodation, it has been thoughtfully refurbished, the owners having maximised the usage of every inch of the space. The large, high quality kitchen/dining area has been recently modernised, it has a lovely open layout, providing a great space for family meals and social entertaining. There are two sets of double doors leading to an attractive and well-maintained garden.
The accommodation of this charming and beautifully presented home offers great flexibility and is perfectly set up for modern day family life. Off the kitchen is the snug / playroom and a fourth ground floor double bedroom, which is spacious and well positioned, looking out onto the garden.
The main sitting room is a good-sized yet cosy space and is centred around the wood burning stove. A good-sized utility room (previously used as an office) is situated at the rear of the property and leads through to the downstairs cloakroom.
Although light and spacious, particularly for a house of this period, should there be the need for even more space, planning permission (PL/2023/00519) has been granted for a single storey, contemporary link extension to be added to side of house.
The generous principal bedroom, with ensuite bathroom, has a wonderful feel to it with lots of natural light from the double doors and Juliette balcony, from where you can enjoy stunning views over the garden. There are two further double bedrooms upstairs, both of which benefit from plenty of storage space and are served by the well-appointed family bathroom, which has modern on trend sanitary ware and fittings.
Outside
The house is approached via automated wooden gates leading to a large, gravelled parking area for multiple vehicles.
The stunning garden is a particular feature of this property and occupies a private, secluded and scenic setting with views onto Ford Brook (a feeder to the River Avon). The garden has been beautifully landscaped with stone paved patio and paths and is mainly laid to lawn with a selection of mature trees and shrubs. In addition, there is a kitchen garden to the side of the house with raised beds, offering the ideal place to grow plants and vegetables.
There is an extremely useful and versatile Studio room in the garden, which is insulated, has telephone and broadband connection as well as power & electric heating. This currently serves as a home office and would equally make a perfect games room, gym or hobby room.

The next steps...
1
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.
