Offered to the market for the first time in over 40 years, Fir Lodge presents an exciting opportunity to acquire a substantial property in the sought-after village of Wargrave.
In its current form, this much-loved family home would benefit from some updating, but offers period features and comfortable accommodation. The surrounding gardens are a particular feature, and the house is supplemented by a collection of outbuildings. There is plenty of scope for improvement, subject to the necessary consents.
The accommodation is arranged over two floors and briefly comprises three bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms, kitchen, study, double garage, detached utility room, workshop and front and rear gardens totalling half an acre.

The original art deco double front doors open into a large vestibule, beyond which the central hall hosts stairs to the first floor and a large under stairs cupboard. The ground floor boasts high ceilings and fireplaces (or chimneys for the provision of fireplaces) in most rooms. To the right, the living room is well-proportioned and bright, with a large window overlooking the front garden and another looking out to the side. Beyond the living room, the generous dining room leads out to the conservatory, with doors to the patio and views up the garden.
The hall continues around the staircase to the left, hosting first the family bathroom and then the kitchen and breakfast room. This is a good size space, with windows overlooking the driveway, door to the rear, and the boiler room.
Opposite the kitchen, bedroom four (currently used as a study) also overlooks the driveway. Bedroom three lies to the left of the front door, completing the internal ground floor accommodation.
There is a covered porch outside the back door, from which the drive is accessible via a secure gate. Opposite the kitchen door, an original brick outbuilding houses a coal shed (with original shute visible from the drive), utility room and outhouse. Behind the outbuilding, the main garage includes and electric doors. A second timber garage is accessed from the drive and a timber workshop with electricity is situated behind the garages.
The sizeable principal suite is situated at the rear of the first floor, with a striking view of the rear garden. A short hallway houses build-in storage and access to the luxurious four-piece en suite bathroom. The bedroom area has further built-in storage and a delightful reading nook with a window to the side. The second bedroom is also large and with ample built-in storage. Here, a dormer window overlooking the drive provides a focal point beneath the gabled ceiling. Two substantial cupboards flank the landing, from which the loft is also accessible. These features may lend themselves to conversion into further living space, subject to the usual consents.

Fir Lodge lies centrally on a large plot of mature gardens. The property is set back from the lane and enclosed by a deep border of shrubs and trees and a stretch of lawn. The gravel driveway runs up to the garages at the left of the house, while to the right, an iron garden gate provides access to the back of the property.
The rear garden is excellent. Lawn stretches from patio outside the house on a gentle slope over half an acre. The garden is enclosed by various types of fencing and numerous trees and shrubs of varying maturity. In the centre of the garden towards the back, a recently-refurbished double pond and with electric water feature provides a wonderful focal point.
