Town Farm is a delightful residential farm, nestled in the hillside underneath the Westbury white horse. The farm is complete with two charming red brick semi-detached cottages, various farm buildings and approximately 155 acres (62.7 ha) of predominantly pasture land.

Town Farm has two early to mid-20th century, semi-detached, unlisted, red brick cottages that comprise the main residential dwelling on the holding. These charming cottages have been occupied as a single dwelling in recent years. However, the first floor of the cottages is still separate and served by two disconnected flights of stairs.

Both cottages have two bedrooms upstairs and large, welcoming reception rooms downstairs. Despite retaining a number of original features, such as well-maintained parquet flooring, the cottages remain unlisted. The gardens of the cottages have been well maintained and have a number of trees that provide good crops of apples and pears in the late summer and early autumn.

The cottages would benefit from updating but provide the perfect canvas for a potential purchaser to shape and style their very own country cottage.

The land extends to approximately 154 acres (63.3 ha) and is predominately pasture with localised areas of woodland. The soil is typical of the area and is described as well drained and silty with chalk at less than 30cm in depth. The land has been grazed by cattle in recent years and as such there is stock proof fencing across the farm.

86.23 acres (34.9 ha) of the land at Town Farm is in the Bratton Downs SSSI. This area of the farm is steeply sloping and extends southwards to the two most southerly fields of the property which have a gentler slope and provide good crops of grass. There is a footpath that runs up Town Farm drive, and through the land above the cottages, there is another footpath that extends across the most southerly fields of the property along to the White Horse.

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.
