Description

The Firs is an early 19th century house with subsequent alterations. It features a seven-window central block of two storeys, with two-storey, two-window side wings set back. The property has low-pitched, hipped roofs covered in green slate. The exterior is stuccoed and includes a cill band. A decorative entablature and blocking course are present on the main block, and replaced sash windows with glazing bars are set within moulded architraves; the ground floor windows have rusticated surrounds. A modern central entrance is housed within an open-pedimented Ionic porch. The Firs is part of a group with Little Pipers.

Local climate

The Firs sits in one of the driest parts of the UK, with an average of 690 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 95% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 94% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 58% of listed buildings. Of these, 15 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.

Averages for 1991–2020; temperature trend 1991–2025. Figures describe the wider area (a grid cell of roughly 10 km), not the individual site. Contains modified Copernicus Climate Change Service information 2026.
