Description
Fir Tree is a farmhouse, now a private house, dated 1728, with 19th and 20th-century alterations. It was built for John and Elizabeth Cockerill. The structure features squared sandstone and a timbered porch, with a roof that is part pantile and part slate, adorned with stone dressings. The building is two stories high, with a three-window arrangement at the left end and a two-window arrangement at the lower right end.
A four-panel door is located beneath a gabled porch at the left of the lower end, set in a quoined doorway with a chamfered lintel inscribed: C 17 I E 28. The lower end has inserted three-light windows, with one at the far left of the high end. The remaining windows on the high end are original, featuring four lights on the ground floor and three lights on the first floor. All windows are mullioned and have large-pane glazing. The high end has coped gables, shaped kneelers, and end corniced stacks, while the lower end has a stack on the right side.
Inside, the ground floor room to the left of the entrance retains a bressummer, a corbelled stone fireplace, and a spice cupboard niche.
