Firsby Manor, Firsby

Firsby Manor is a beautiful Grade II listed five bedroom detached period house of considerable charm with origins in 1740 and later extension dating from 1840. The property has been sympathetically improved by the current vendors and enjoys green credentials with air source heating to the main house and a bank of photovoltaic panels. The property occupies grounds extending to 2.88 acres sts. that are beautifully presented and have been opened as part of the National Garden Scheme. There are also a significant range of outbuildings including a coach house, further brick outbuilding and a tennis court. The gardens offer much more than can be listed but two highlights would be the striking long “hot” colour herbaceous border in Gertrude Jeykll style alongside a south facing brick wall and the daffodil collection bedded in groups.

Firsby is a village with St Andrew’s parish church between Wainfleet and Spilsby, five miles distant from each with good access to local facilities. Wainfleet offers a train station with free parking and full access to the rail networks. Firsby in its heyday was a busy junction on the Great Northern railway.
