Description

The Firs is a three-storey house with origins dating back to the late 17th century, although it was enlarged and most of the exterior was refaced around 1872. The most notable feature is a small two-storey section on the south side, constructed of 17th-century ashlar, which still has a simple wooden cornice with plain modillions. The rest of the exterior is in satisfactory condition.
