Fir Tree Farmhouse

Fir Tree Farmhouse is a late 14th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame, mostly plastered, with a thatched roof. The building has two storeys and was originally an open hall house with living accommodation at each end. It has 19th and 20th-century casement windows and a 20th-century plank door leading into a cross-passage. There is an axial stack, though the shaft has been rebuilt. To the right, there is a small single-storey thatched addition with a small gable stack.

Notable features include original paired service doorways with 2-centre arches and two sections of medieval studded plank doors at each end of the cross-passage, which likely originated from a church. The roof is a queen-post type, with an open truss that has an arched-braced cambered tie beam (one brace has been removed) and square queen posts with heavy braces to the arcade plates and cambered collar. The collar may support a further truss, possibly a king post at the roof ridge. The studding is largely intact, and the upper part of one 6-light diamond-mullioned hall window is exposed, with evidence of another. A stack has been inserted against the upper end of the hall, and a timber set against the upper part of the stack may be part of a former timber-framed chimney. The solar end was partly rebuilt and extended by one bay in the early 17th century.
