The Firs And Attached Barn

The Firs and attached barn is a house and barn located on Clanfield Main Road, dating from around 1792, as indicated by a datestone on the barn, with 19th-century additions and alterations. The house is constructed of roughly coursed limestone rubble and features alternating angle quoins, topped with a stone slate roof. It has a three-window front, with mid-19th-century horned eight-paned sash windows that have chamfered wood lintels. The central entrance consists of a flush six-panel door, with the upper panels now glazed, and is sheltered by a light iron porch adorned with a 19th-century fleur-de-lys cresting, which is said to have been added in the 20th century. The house has integral end stacks with red brick shafts, with the right stack rendered.

To the rear right, there is a 19th-century two-storey lean-to that connects the main range to a formerly separate single-storey gabled outbuilding, which served as a wash-house. The attached barn on the left features a 20th-century garage door on the right and infilled openings on the left. The left gable end of the barn displays the datestone "H/IS/1792". Inside the house, there are chamfered spine beams in the ground-floor rooms, along with an inglenook fireplace on the left. The roof structure consists of a double-purlin collar and tie-beam roof spanning five bays. The barn has a double-purlin collar truss roof in three bays, with the right truss also featuring a tie-beam.
