Green Tree Public House

The Green Tree Public House is a public house dated 1900, located on Cockton Hill Road in Bishop Auckland. It is constructed of bright red brick with ashlar and faience dressings, featuring a pebble-dash rendered first floor and a timber-framed gable. The roof is covered with plain red tiles and has brick chimneys with ashlar dressings.

The building is two storeys high and has a four-by-three window arrangement with a canted right corner. The bar front includes ashlar pilasters and an entablature that frames elliptical arches above central recessed panelled doors, flanked by four-light mullion and transom windows. There is an impost string between the arches and a continuous sill string over the pilasters, which are topped with small segmental pediments on the entablature.

On the first floor, there is a central canted mullion and transom bay window supported by a leaf-carved bracket, with three-light windows on either side, all featuring coloured glass in leaded upper lights. The gable over the bay window has barge boards and a mace finial, and it contains a four-light window. The canted right corner has a blocked door beneath a stone door hood, with initials and the date displayed under a cornice with a segmental centre; above this is a two-light window.

The turret above has a two-light window and features a cornice and swept eaves leading to a tall pyramidal roof topped with a weather vane finial. The steeply pitched roof has swept eaves and a long hip at the right side behind the turret, along with corniced ridge chimneys. The gabled left return includes double doors with an overlight featuring glazing bars, a window to the left, and a chimney projection from the first floor flanked by small windows that rise through the gable.
