Fir Cottage

Fir Cottage is a house, originally part of a row of houses, dating from the early 17th century or earlier, and likely built in several phases. It is timber-framed and weatherboarded, topped with a plain tile roof. The left cross-wing is two storeys with attics, while the left end of the main range is two storeys and the right end is one and a half storeys, all set on a stone plinth. The cross-wing features a jettied gable supported by a moulded bressumer on intricately carved brackets, along with moulded bargeboards and a pendant. The roof of the main range is divided into two parts, with the left end higher than the right, which has a hipped roof. There is a multiple brick ridge stack on the two-storey section and a red brick stack on the right end of the right section. The gable of the wing has one two-light leaded casement, and the first floor has a glazing-bar sash window with thick glazing bars. The two-storey section includes a two-light leaded ovolo-moulded mullion window on the first floor. There are two gabled eaves dormers on the right section. A boarded door is located beneath the stack, topped with a flat hood supported by early 17th-century-style carved brackets. Lean-to structures weatherboarded are present at either end. The interior has not been inspected.
