The village has a wide range of facilities including an infant and two primary schools, village hall, recreation ground with children’s play area, tennis courts, two pubs and a village store/Post Office. Further amenities are available in the neighbouring town of Thatcham which offers a variety of supermarkets including Waitrose, smaller shops, a Post Office, a choice of schools and a number of other services.

The M4 and M3 can be easily accessed for travel towards London and its airports or the West Country.

The area provides opportunities for scenic walks and country pursuits, with excellent riding country available locally.

Description:
Robins Ridge was built in 1962 and is nicely tucked away in this no through road location. The property is deceptively spacious inside but also offers an exciting opportunity for an incoming buyer to extend subject to the relevant permissions. The accommodation briefly comprises an open hallway with open tread staircase and doors to the principal ground floor rooms. The current ground floor layout has been arranged with a sitting room with gas fire, kitchen/breakfast room leading to a dining area and study area beyond. There are 2 further ground floor rooms that offer a double bedroom and study complimented by a family bathroom. From the kitchen there is a door that leads to a utility area incorporated in the garage. Upstairs there is a principal bedroom with eaves storage and modern en suite bathroom. The accommodation is completed with 2 further bedrooms both with plenty of storage.

Outside:
The property is approached via a tarmac drive leading to a parking area and the garage. To the rear of the property there is a large terrace overlooking the garden and woodland beyond. The garden is full of an array of flowers, shrubs and specimen trees and has the benefit of being very private. Within the garden there is a small ornamental pond with a path leading over the brook to an area of woodland.

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.
