Firtree Farmhouse

Firtree Farmhouse is a farmhouse built in 1738, constructed of Flemish bond brown brick with a slate roof. The building has three storeys and features three windows. There is a plain painted stone band at the first floor and a moulded cornice. The original six-panel door has been replaced with a door that includes a fanlight, although the glazing bars have been removed. The flush twelve-pane sash windows have inset dentilled architraves around the sash-boxes, while the third storey has similar six-pane sashes. The lower two storeys have flat gauged brick arches, and the central opening on the third storey is blocked with a stone inset that is inscribed with "W : SM : 1738." This datestone may have been inserted, suggesting that the farmhouse could be slightly older. The gable chimneys are flush with the walls. To the right, there is a small, recessed two-storey addition that is in keeping with the main structure.

Inside, there is a brick barrel vault in the cellar beneath the right room, accessed by stone steps on brick risers and a stone-flagged floor. The lower storey features three-panel doors, and some oak beams have empty mortices, indicating that the floor has been re-joisted. Oak purlins are present, with some recently refaced.
