Description
Fir Tree Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 16th or 17th century. It has a three-cell plan with a parlour cross-wing on the left side. The building is two storeys high and features a timber-framed structure that is plastered. The roof is covered with pantiles, although it was once thatched. There is a plastered axial chimney, probably from the 17th century, located between the hall and the parlour at the junction with the cross-wing. The windows are mid-20th century casements, and there is a mid-20th century half-glazed panelled entrance door. The interior has not been examined.
