The Firs presents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional riverside home offering an enviable country lifestyle.

The property is approached via a long gravel driveway, providing ample off-road parking for numerous vehicles and leading to a detached double garage with power and lighting connected.

Extending to approximately 6 acres, the grounds comprise a delightful combination of lawned gardens, woodland and marshland.

For boating enthusiasts, this presents a remarkable lifestyle opportunity, with potential to generate additional income through the rental of moorings, if desired.

Predominantly south-facing, the gardens enjoy a sunny aspect and feature an attractive patio terrace ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, alongside well-stocked beds, mature shrubs and areas of established planting.
