Hide AdFairnington Lodge dates originally to 1850 and has been extended over the years to host spacious family accommodation on two levels, with excellent outhouse storage, including a garage and workshop, as well as a mature decorative garden to the front and vegetable plots to the side.
The main entrance opens to a vestibule with coat cupboard, and extends to the main hallway linking the three public rooms, rear hallway and utility. The dining room and kitchen are of open plan design, enjoying a bright dual aspect overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. Fitted with modern wall and base units, the kitchen benefits from a solid oak flooring and an excellent pantry cupboard, with the adjacent dining area well-proportioned and perfect for entertaining or family dining.
A useful utility room sits to the rear and extends to a second living room with sliding patio doors onto the garden. Currently utilised as a home gym, the potential as a workspace or dining room is obvious, and it would also lend itself easily as a ground level bedroom or annexe style accommodation with the use of the connecting utility and cloakroom w/c.
The main sitting room sits to the front of the property and is brimming with character, being in the original part of the house; with ceiling beams, multi fuel stove and bright aspect, it’s a welcoming and relaxing space.
