Property description
An extended 17th century five bedroom detached house with landscaped formal gardens, a paddock, stables and countryside views, set in just over 2 acres.
Situated at the end of a no through lane close to footpaths and bridleways leading to countryside, Firs Lodge was originally built in the 1600s as a workers’ cottage. It was extended in the 1920s and has 3,188 sq. ft. of accommodation over three floors and character features including oriel windows, picture rails and fireplaces. The ground floor includes an entrance hall, a sitting room – with an open fireplace, high ceiling and doors to the front - a family room, dining room and kitchen/breakfast room. There is also a study with stairs to a store room above, a utility room and a two piece cloakroom. On the first floor, the master bedroom has a dressing room and an en suite bathroom and there are two further bedrooms - one with a shower cubicle - and a family bathroom. The second floor has two bedrooms and built-in cupboards.
