Description
The Firs is an 18th-century building, likely incorporating earlier fabric. It is a two-storey structure with a weatherboard exterior, grooved to resemble masonry. The roof is hipped and tiled, with eaves cornices. The building has three sash windows, the glazing bars of which have been lost. There are two small bays on each floor. A porch with Tuscan columns fronts the building, containing a round-headed doorway framed by fluted half-columns and surmounted by a semi-circular fanlight. A brick chimney breast is visible on the south wall.
Local climate
The Firs sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 730 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 81% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 55% of listed buildings.
It experiences an average of 26 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 72% of listed buildings. Of these, 12 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.
