Description
Fir Tree Farmhouse is a 16th-century farmhouse that features a timber frame and roughcast rendering. The roof is pantiled, with glazed black tiles on the front. The building has two storeys and a three-cell layout. It includes three windows that are 20th-century casements, each with paired vertically-boarded shutters. There is a cross-passage entry with a 20th-century boarded door and an internal stack with a rendered shaft. The upper floor showcases good exposed framing. On the rear wall opposite the stack, there is a blocked original opening, approximately 0.5 meters wide, with a four-centre arched head, although its original function is unclear.
