The Firs

The Firs is a detached house dating from the 19th century, with a 20th-century extension. It may have been designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, who also designed the nearby Moorlands. The building is constructed from cut and squared ham stone, with ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof featuring stepped coped gables and brick chimney stacks at each end. It has two storeys and a south-west elevation with three bays plus one additional bay, positioned at right angles to the road. The windows are hollow-chamfered mullioned types set in chamfered recesses, with two-light configurations and labels. The second bay on the first floor has a simpler chamfered two-light window without a label. The lower second bay features a boarded door topped by a three-pane rectangular fanlight, which is sheltered by a small timber hood. The east gable was extended by one bay in the 20th century. The interior has not been seen.
