Description The Firs is a substantial Georgian property with its history dating back to the early 19th Century. The Georgian features can be found throughout the property with large sash windows, original oak shutters, tall ceilings and light and airy rooms.
The imposing front elevation is typical to the era with impressive sash windows, shallow pitched roof and flanking chimney stacks. The original panelled front door leads into a welcoming entrance hall with high ceilings and decorative cornicing, a trait which runs throughout the property. The hallway contains an elegant staircase leading to the first floor and a doorway for access to the cellar beneath.
Off the hallway are the two principal reception rooms, which are ideal for family living and entertaining. The dining room has a large bay window, an open fireplace with a marble hearth and wooden surround. The drawing room is an ideal entertaining space with an open fireplace, bay window with original shutters and decorative cornicing.
The kitchen spans the width of the building with windows facing onto the front and rear and French doors leading onto the patio area. This room is light and airy with exposed beams and Fired Earth tiled floor throughout. There are a number of ground and wall mounted oak units with granite worktops, integrated appliances and an ILVE oven and induction surface cooker.
Just off the kitchen is a family sitting room overlooking the courtyard. Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room with side door onto the courtyard and a downstairs WC with hand basin.
The first-floor comprises a master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and a shower en-suite. There are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom on this level. From the principal landing there is a short staircase leading onto a lower landing where there are two further double bedrooms with a second family bathroom.
Externally The property is approached through a double timber gated entrance via Frog Lane. There is a circular courtyard with mature trees and lawned area in the centre.
The gardens are a mixture of mature lawns, secluded suntraps and patio areas- perfect for entertaining. There is a vegetable garden with a summer house beyond and various inbuilt sitting areas to catch the sun during various parts of the day.
There are two extensive brick-built outbuildings. The first containing a first-floor level, 1-bed flat with a living room, kitchen, utility and shower room. This self-contained unit has the relevant planning permissions and building regulations and has been regularly let on short term agreements. The remainder of the building has been used for equestrian purposes with a foaling box and 2 loose boxes, tack rooms and a large loft above. This range has the benefit of planning permission which includes a Lawful Development Certificate (LDC number below) for the conversion of the whole to a 5-bed dwelling, independent to the main house, with a gross internal area of circa 4,600 sq ft.
