The Firs is an appealing village smallholding consisting of detached, three-bedroom house occupying a large site of approximately 2.2 acres including paddocks, range of buildings, gardens and ample parking. Within the last four years, the property has been subject to a range of improvements and offers the chance for a new purchaser to continue these and adapt to their own needs and specification. The Firs occupies a pleasant position on Rainsburgh Lane with a lovely outlook towards the village green and pond.
The house, which is understood to date from 1921, has a distinctive part-brick, part-rendered façade with twin bay windows and sits behind a front garden enclosed by clipped topiary. The property retains a number of its original features including panelled internal doors and coving within the living room.

Windows are uPVC double-glazed and heating is provided by electric night storage heaters.
Externally there are good-sized gardens, and a concrete driveway runs alongside the house, leading to a garage. The overall plot amounts to approximately 2.2 acres and includes a grass paddock, making the property an ideal proposition for anyone with equestrian or smallholding interests, or those looking to set up their own CL caravan site. Along the northern boundary is collection of outbuildings which consist primarily of loose boxes and former pig sties. The land is served by its own vehicular access, immediately alongside the driveway and therefore may have some infill potential – subject to planning.
