The original date stone appears above the door to the main house and there is also a marriage stone in the dining room in the names of the original occupants. During the mid 1800s the house became a shooting lodge before evolving into a magnificent family home.
This period home is full of character and a host of features including original woodwork, fireplaces and ceiling cornicing. Its sale provides a rarely available lifestyle opportunity in idyllic surroundings. The generous proportions, layout and flexibility of the accommodation will appeal to a variety of buyers, particularly those looking for a property which provides established and popular self-catering accommodation. In recent years Fodderty Lodge has been a family run enterprise geared to reflect the differing needs of families, couples, friends and single people with very flexible self-catering accommodation.
Fodderty Lodge itself is entered via a large porch/sun room leading into the welcoming broad hallway. There are two front facing public rooms overlooking the extensive gardens. The sitting room and dining rooms both have bay windows and a host of features which include coving and skirtings.
