Fir Tree House

Fir Tree House is a house built in 1693, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is constructed from coursed squared limestone and features wooden lintels, topped with an old plain-tile roof and brick gable stacks. The house has a three-unit plan that extends to the rear and stands two storeys tall with an attic. The front has three windows, which were likely originally part of a symmetrical five-window arrangement. The windows have been renewed with 12-pane sashes that feature stop-chamfered lintels, except for the window to the right of the doorway, which has a 16-pane late 20th-century sash replacing a wider three-light leaded transomed casement. The central doorway includes a four-panel door framed by a heavy surround, which incorporates a leaded two-light overlight. Above the doorway, there is a segmental canopy supported by carved scroll brackets, sheltering stucco decoration that includes a circular medallion with a female bust. The roof is adorned with three hipped roof dormers, while the gable walls have small blocked windows and paired stacks. The rear of the house features some old stop-chamfered lintels.

Inside, there is an oak dogleg stair leading to the attic, characterized by heavy barleytwist balusters, ball finials, turned pendants, and a dog gate. The interior also boasts moulded-plank oak doors, an ovolo-moulded beam on a moulded bracket, and a large fireplace with a herringbone-brick back. There is early 18th-century painted-deal fielded panelling, along with bolection-moulded fireplaces and doors. The datestone above the canopy is inscribed with "W/IE/1693," which refers to John and Elizabeth Walker.
