WELCOME TO FIRHALL Firhall Village is a unique community of 93 dwellings set in country parkland surrounding Firhall House alongside the river about a mile outside the seaside town of Nairn. The village offers a mix of attractively built houses, bungalows and apartments of varied design, set in a landscape of mature trees and grassed areas with features such as a pond, gazebos and naturalised woodland areas which attract a variety of birds and a resident population of red squirrels. That residents take great pride in their surroundings is evidenced by their many colourful patio gardens which all help to further enhance the natural beauty of Firhall. After completion, the landscaped grounds and the ground floor community rooms of Firhall House were given to the owners in Trust and these communally owned areas are managed and maintained by a committee of Trustees elected from amongst owners. The Trustees are responsible for setting and collecting the annual maintenance charges and awarding the necessary contracts for landscape maintenance, tree maintenance, cleaning and insuring of communal areas on behalf of all owners. They are also expected to ensure that owners adhere to their Deed of Conditions and deal with local councils and other official bodies when necessary. The village has a strong community feel and the Firhall Forum, a residents association; actively promotes the social and welfare aspects of village life by arranging a varied programme of events throughout the year. These include: - monthly coffee mornings - some with speakers, musical events with suppers, barbecues, quiz nights and seasonal events at Christmas etc. Also on offer are Keep Fit, Line Dancing, Scrabble, Bridge and a Walking group. These activities are available to all residents should they wish to take part. Most are centred on the community rooms on the ground floor of Firhall House where there is a library, lounge, reception area and multi purpose room. All these rooms are large and have been sympathetically renovated and furnished to incorporate many of the original beautiful features of the house. Each owner has their own electronic key to this area and can come and go as they please. It can also be used by residents for private functions at a nominal charge. Neighbours actively look out for each other and there is a list of willing volunteers to assist the ill or less able when required. Help is always at hand with local information as most residents actively support the local tradesmen and businesses. Of course there are some covenants which must be observed when deciding whether Firhall is suitable for your needs but it is certainly neither a restrictive nor an unwelcoming place. The main points are as follows:- · Owners must be over 45 with no resident children under 16 · Each property has a footprint of approximately one metre surrounding the property along with the driveway, paths, patio and garage and owners are responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of these areas. All other areas are communally owned and maintained by the Trust. · All owners are bound to pay an equal share of the annual management charge set by the Trustees for the maintenance of all communally owned areas. · Visiting children are welcomed for periods of three weeks or less with an aggregated time limit of three months in any year. · Only one dog and cat per household is permitted. No livestock or other animals may be kept. · No caravans, boats, trailers or trade vehicles may be kept in the village. · No washing may be dried outdoors. New residents are warmly welcomed and most seem to enjoy quickly integrating into the village community. There are also numerous events and societies available in Nairn and the surrounding areas which are well patronised and enjoyed by many Firhall residents thus forging links with the local community. All in all Firhall is a unique and special place to live. GR 31.05.10
