Description

Situated in a magical position within the heart of Wilton, Brook Cottage is a period detached house dating from the mid-19th Century with solid brick elevations under a slate roof.

The property has generously proportioned reception rooms facing across the private garden and is filled with a great deal of inherent charm and character.

Due to its south-westerly aspect, the house enjoys great natural light and enjoys a wonderful feel throughout. The sitting room has a central fireplace with wood burning stove and the fully fitted kitchen/breakfast room and dining room offers great spaces to entertain guests. The downstairs accommodation is completed by the utility room and separate cloakroom.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, both of which benefit from having their own ensuite bathrooms. There is also an additional single bedroom.

The garden is mainly laid to lawn with an abundance of flowers, water plants, shrubs and trees, offering a charming and tranquil setting. There is a brook which runs from the village pond through the garden and bends through the lawns linked by a 'Monet' style bridge. There is a timber-built garden shed perfect for storage, a single garage and gravelled parking to the front for two vehicles. There is a separate 18th Century thatched building with vaulted ceiling and original oak 'A' frame truss which is used as an occasional guest bedroom and study. Adjacent to this is an outside shower room.

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.
