DESCRIPTION
A truly delightful Grade II Listed former mill cottage built in the early 18th century, constructed of local honey coloured stone elevations with mullion windows under a Cotswold stone roof. The property has been in the same family's ownership for over 100 years. The accommodation is full of character and period features and set over three floors. They include the large open inglenook fireplace, exposed
beams, and casement windows with window seats. The original mill leat runs under the house and to the side of the garden. The property needs substantial refurbishment but has huge potential to further extend the size of the property, subject to the necessary consents. The cottage opens onto a large level south facing lawn garden that leads to an idyllic riverside setting with a wide
selection of mature trees. This is a wildlife haven and has the benefit of fishing rights, the Bybrook being known for its trout. A gated driveway leads to a parking area and to a large, detached garage and store room. Across the river is a large paddock of around 1 acre with a wooden single storey building available by separate
negotiation.

This is a remarkable setting, perched on the edge of the Bybrook River. It has two neighbouring properties, the original mill and the mill house, whilst still retaining privacy as they all face away from one another. It is a beautiful and undulating river valley in the south Cotswolds. The valley is
well regarded for walking and riding and is teaming with wildlife. It has a very quiet and rural feel yet only 2 miles from Corsham, a pretty market town having all your day-today
shopping facilities, good pubs and restaurants, whilst being set between the city of Bath and the large town of Chippenham, both having mainline rail access to London Paddington. Bath offers excellent schooling, shopping, leisure, and sporting facilities, as well as being famed for its
Georgian architecture.

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.

If other offers have been made on a property we aren't legally able to tell you what they are, but we may indicate if they were close to the asking price.
