Firtree House

Firtree House is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, dating from the early 18th century. It features pebble dash over coursed limestone rubble and a stone slate roof with rendered stacks. The building has a three-unit plan and stands two storeys high with a three-window range. The entrance includes a four-panelled door, and there are two and three-light casements that date from around 1900. The roof is gabled with a ridge stack, and there is a roof dormer with a two-light leaded window at the rear.

Inside, the right side has cased beams, while the other ground floor rooms have chamfered and stopped beams. There is a new oak bressumer over an open fireplace in the central room on the left, with ribbed doors leading to the newel stairs situated between the stack and the front wall. The first floor features a timber-framed partition and a ribbed door on the right wall of the central room. The loft has a three-bay butt purlin roof, with one truss on the right side having three queen posts and a king stud extending from the collar to the apex. The right gable wall shows the remains of a demolished flue from an original stack, and the right truss has 18th-century horizontal boarding and a plank door that creates a partition.

In addition, there are subsidiary features including a brewhouse, dairy, and cheese loft located at the rear right, which also dates from the early 18th century.
