Description
The Firs is a farmhouse, likely dating from the 17th century. It has two storeys and a three-cell plan. The structure is timber-framed and roughcast, topped with a thatched roof that features an axial roughcast chimney. The windows are primarily early 20th century small pane casements. There is a mid-20th century gabled entrance porch with a boarded door. To the right, there is a single-storey extension that is either from the 19th or 20th century and has a pantiled roof.
