Description
Fir Tree Farmhouse is an early 17th-century farmhouse that features a timber-framed structure with roughcast and a thatched roof. The building has two storeys and a three-cell lobby-entrance plan. Inside, there is an internal chimney stack made of old red brick, along with a later stack and a slated single-storey lean-to addition on the right side.
The upper floor has three 3-light casement windows, one of which is old and has pintle hinges, all featuring square leading. The ground floor also has three 3-light casement windows, two of which include transoms and cross-bars, while one has cross-bars only. The entrance door, dating from the 19th century, has six flush panels.
The frame consists of four bays, including a chimney bay, and displays good close-studding without visible bracing on the inside. To the right of the stack, the ground floor ceiling features a main beam with a chamfer and jewel stops, along with plain, slightly chamfered joists. On the upper floor, there is a section of fine Jacobean panelling that includes ornate lozenges in the panels and scribed designs on the rails and styles. One half-glazed door contains panes of old bottle glass. The house is oriented sideways to the road and has a 19th-century single-storey addition along the north side.
