The Garth is a superb family house with origins dating back to the 17th Century, as depicted by the datestone on the front of the house which is inscribed ‘RI 1668’. Further additions/alterations are understood to have taken place in the late 18th/early 19th Century. It has been the much loved family house to the current owners for 44 years and provides carefully maintained and well presented accommodation, with a wealth of charm and character throughout.

The accommodation is arranged over 2 floors and features a spacious reception hall with cloakroom off, a lovely sitting room, dining room, family room, breakfast kitchen with a 5 oven electric Aga, utility room and a vaulted wine cellar. On the first floor is a landing, principal bedroom with a dressing room (with fitted wardrobes) and an en suite bathroom, 4 additional bedrooms and a house bathroom. In addition, there is a large, walk-in loft storage area, accessed off the dressing room which could have potential to be converted into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consent.

Outside, there is a double garage with workshop area, to the east of the house, with a tarmacadam drive providing parking for a number of vehicles. There is a further drive to the rear providing yet more parking together with 2 useful outbuildings. The principal garden area lies to the rear and forms a particular feature of this lovely family house. It has been cultivated and nurtured by the owners over the years and is beautifully maintained, featuring extensive lawned areas with deep and well stocked borders. There is a summerhouse and flagged seating area to the north eastern corner providing an ideal place for summer entertaining. To the front, across the little used lane, is a 1¾ acre paddock, being ideal for those with livestock/equestrian interests.

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.
