Description

Fir Tree Cottage is a cottage dating from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of flint with brick dressings and features a thatched roof. The building is 1½ storeys high and has two 18th-century bays, with a matching 19th-century bay added to the right and a 20th-century timber store in front of it. The entrance has a wide 18th-century four-panelled door located under a small timber pediment porch supported by brackets. To the left of the door are 20th-century windows, while to the right is an 18th-century window. Above the door and over the right bay, there is a tall two-light casement window in a flat-roofed dormer. The roof is hipped and features a decorated ridge piece, with an 18th-century stack at the right end of the original building and a 19th-century stack at the right end of the later addition.
