'The Old Fire House ' is a period home, In the late 1800's this property was a Fire Station and then owned and operated by the Bidwell brewing company. Its uniqueness doesn't end there, the Lounge still has the original chalk walls so you can imagine all the horses it situated day in and day out.
I have a huge passion for history so I like to metal detect and magnet fish in my free time!.
You can turn left out the door and you are met with endless walks accompanied with countless muntjac and wildlife at every corner. Turn right and you can head into town to shop, eat and explore a bit more!.
