Description
5, Firwood Fold is an early 19th-century building originally constructed as a school and later converted into a pair of houses combined as a single property. The building is constructed of coursed and squared stone, with a stone flagged roof, and features end wall stacks. The exterior presents a two-storey, two-window range with a pair of central doors set within steep chamfered two-centred arches, each with hood moulds. There are three-light casement windows on each floor, featuring pointed arched traceried lights within chamfered openings, all beneath drop-ended hoodmolds. The building has overhanging eaves. The interior has not been inspected.
