Description
This is an exceptional period house, believed to have been built by a captain in the Navy around 1899 and named after his ship that sank in the Thames. The present owners have undertaken a meticulous restoration of the property, creating a very high-end interior, within a charming period building full of character. Of note, the property is not listed.
The welcoming reception hall leads on one side to an open plan kitchen/dining room, spanning the length of the house with a Harvey Jones kitchen with marble worktops with built in appliances, mandarin stone flooring and a large bay window facing due south with views down the garden. The far side of the hall is a living room, again with a bay window and a fireplace. A practical utility room is at the back of the house leading through to a newly added David Salisbury orangery, an excellent entertaining space with views across the fields to the side and opening onto the patio at the side of the house, perfect for summer parties.
A gravel driveway sweeps around to a turning circle in front of the house with a large parking area. At the side of the house is a level lawn and patio. The to the rear of the property, a single storey former stable block has been similarly refurbished to create a one bedroom holiday let cottage with an excellent income.
Beyond the drive, facing due south as the front elevation of the house does, a large further garden and orchard provides a fruit and vegetable garden and the present owners have chickens here.

Situation
Dovenby House is positioned on the edge of Nettleton, backing onto the Beaufort Estate, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the south Cotswolds with Bath a short distance to the South. The village of Nettleton is a hugely desirable, peaceful and an idyllic spot. Walking and riding in the area are excellent. The M4 motorway Junction 17 is an 11 minutes’ drive away, Junction 18 is 8 minutes away, and mainline rail at Chippenham is a 20 minute drive (Paddington 1 hour 15 minutes). The neighbouring larger village of Marshfield has a post office, shops and excellent pubs.

Some of the best walks in the country are right on the doorstep.

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.
