Description

Hightown enjoys the best of both worlds, being just 0.1 miles from Marlborough High Street yet enjoying a peaceful position on this quiet residential lane. All the amenities the town has to offer are on your doorstep such as Waitrose, countless cafe's and a fine selection of restaurants.

The property is a handsome red brick, detached house offering lightfilled, elegantly appointed accommodation and combining period character with stylish modern fittings.

Approached through a welcoming reception hall, this is a delightful family house offering a wealth of living and entertaining space throughout. The kitchen area is beautifully appointed with a high quality modern kitchen with large island and a range of top quality appliances. The kitchen opens up into a large dining/family area with bi-fold doors that open on two sides to the large south facing terrace.

The main sitting room is exceptional and provides the most wonderful entertaining space, perfect for large gatherings and comfortable with a delightful fitted fireplace. Doors lead from here both to the garden and terrace. In addition, there is another sitting room / study and the downstairs accommodation is completed by a utility room and separate downstairs cloakroom.

There is one further bedroom suite in this part of the house with an adjoining shower room. There are two further double bedrooms which are served by the well appointed family bathroom. Above the garage, the owners have created another spacious bedroom with ensuite shower room. This space could be used as the principal bedroom but would also make a wonderful guest room given it is accessed by a separate staircase.

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.
