Firfield Lodge forms the principal portion of this once large Victorian property dating back to 1899. The property has been previously renovated to a high standard and provides well established accommodation that emphasises the charm and features of the period including, block wood flooring, wonderful ceiling cornicing and a number of striking fireplaces. The property benefits from off road parking and double garage behind electronically operated wooden gates.

The property now offers scope for further redevelopment with the opportunity to integrate a third floor to create a large principal bedroom suite and potential for roof terrace enjoying views over the Downs. Overall, the property would span approaching 3,000 sqft of accommodation.

In addition, the grounds and gardens are of particular note and offer scope for the erection of a single storey detached dwelling, for which indicative plans are available. Our client will be submitting a planning application in this regard full details are available from the agent.

All apartments are complete with beautifully-designed fully-fitted kitchens with high-quality integrated appliances, as well as fitted bathrooms and/or wet-room style shower rooms and the added luxury of underfloor heating.

Scalesceugh Hall will encourage a close-knit community feel thanks to the sociable shared spaces, including a communal lounge and cinema room. The upcoming on site Spa & Wellness Centre will also offer a delightful space for owners to relax and socialise with fellow owners. The development also benefits from lift access to all floors, a video entry system, private parking, and all communal gardening and maintenance taken care of. Should it be required, a range of helpful services can also be arranged, from cleaning to assistance with grocery shopping (at an additional cost).
