Description
Fircroft and the adjoining haybarn are a house and haybarn dating from the late 16th century, with alterations made in the mid-19th century and late 20th century. The house is timber-framed on a rubble base, with some rubble and brick walling hidden beneath sheets of hardboard painted to look like timber-framing. It has a corrugated metal roof with overhanging eaves, hipped at the east end, and a brick stack at the west end of the ridge. The building consists of two framed bays aligned east to west and is two storeys high, with no framing visible on the exterior.
On the south front elevation, there is a 19th-century bay window with a lean-to roof in the west bay, a single-light first-floor casement in the east bay, and the main entrance in the west bay features a 19th-century gabled timber porch with trellis infill and a partly-glazed door. Additionally, there is a 19th-century square metal window on both floors at the east end. Inside, some substantial exposed timbers can be seen.
The adjoining haybarn is timber-framed and weatherboarded, topped with a corrugated iron roof that is hipped at the west end. It consists of a single framed bay and a hipped-roofed bay with a lean-to at the west end, and it is partly two levels high, featuring three panels from the sill to the wall-plate. At the west end of the main bay, there is a truncated collar and tie-beam roof truss. The main entrance is located on the south elevation, along with a door and loft opening to the hipped-roofed section. It appears that the westernmost bay of the haybarn has likely been rebuilt and the barn has been re-roofed.
