Description

Firingsclose Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed of rendered rubble and features a double Roman tiled roof. The building is single storey with attics, and has two stone gables on the left side. There are four 20th-century two-light casement windows and an off-centre plank door located in a gabled projecting porch. At the rear, there is a service wing that is one storey high with an attic in a gable. Inside, the farmhouse has stop-chamfered beams and a plank door set in an ovolo moulded doorcase with converging stops. This farmhouse is a small example of the gabled vernacular farmhouse type.
