Description
The Firs is a house dating from the mid-18th century. It is constructed primarily of herring-bone-tooled limestone to the front, with coursed rubble to the rear, and features sandstone dressings. The roof is pantiled, with brick stacks. The house is planned around a central staircase, and is approximately one and a half rooms deep.
The main front is symmetrical with three windows arranged over two storeys. Chamfered, milled quoins are visible. The central entrance has a panelled door with a fanlight, set within a moulded, keyed archivolt doorcase. The doorcase is topped with an open pediment supported by Tuscan pilasters. Sash windows are set within moulded architraves, each adorned with three keystones. A first-floor band and a cavetto moulded eaves cornice run along the top of the building. Coped gables, kneelers and end stacks are present.
The right gable wall facing the street includes a panelled door and a sash window, both with keyed lintels. At the rear, a tall staircase window sits centrally, along with three two-light horizontal sliding sash windows with glazing bars.
