Description

Smithy Green Cottage is a building that originally consisted of two cottages but has since been converted into one house. It dates from the late 17th century to the early 18th century and features a timber frame with whitewashed brick infill. The roof is made of red plain tiles, installed in the 20th century.

The cottage is two storeys tall, with the front displaying 12 by 3 cells of small framing, including angle braces at the right-hand corner and on the right side of the remaining wall post. There is a 20th-century door located to the left of the centre; the original doors were situated in the fourth bay from the left and the second or third bay from the right. The ground floor has two 20th-century three-light casement windows. The upper floor appears to have been raised in height in the 19th century or this century, featuring one two-light window in the centre and two three-light casements, one on either side. The right-hand gable end showcases three by three cells of small framing, with a queen post truss and V-strut at the gable apex.
