Westview is a substantial four bedroom edge-of-village property occupying a exceptional plot between the highly regarded villages of Foxton and Barrington. Since purchasing the property in 2014, the current owners have carried out an extensive programme of remodelling and renovation to produce a beautifully presented, modern family home with superb and versatile accommodation of around 2700sq.ft.

The living space is free-flowing with an open-plan feel to it whilst offering separate work and recreational spaces focussed around a stunning kitchen/breakfast diner and accessed via wide hallways, all added to the feeling and light and space. There is also large reception room along with a study, playroom/snug/tv area, a useful boot room and a utility. Three of the double bedrooms are on the ground floor, adding to the flexible use of this impressive home, along with two well-fitted bathrooms with a fourth bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. A viewing of this attractive and unusual property is highly recommended.

The property is approached over an extensive driveway providing ample secure parking for numerous cars. There is gated gravelled parking and turning areas to the front and a brick paved driveway at the side leads down to the garden and grounds at the back. The front gardens are pleasantly planted and laid to lawn whilst the rear gardens provide the perfect secluded and safe outside space for pets and children. This lawned area is separated from the grounds to the rear by mature hedging but could easily be opened up to combine the two parts. There are some garages (currently used for storage) and a mobile unit (with power. phone line and plumbing) currently sitting on the land at the back and this was previously used as a commercial yard. This area has its own gated access and could be used independently for a number of uses including equestrian.

There are good local amenities in the village including a village shop and post office, a public house, primary school and church.

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.
