Description
Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1770 for James Wylde, with some 20th-century alterations. It is built of white pointed Flemish bond orange brick with yellow headers on a rubble plinth, topped with a Kerridge stone-slate roof and featuring two gable brick chimneys. The building has a double-pile plan and a symmetrical two-storey, three-bay front. The end bays have been modified with deepened 20th-century three-light casements that have cambered brick heads below and two-light windows above. A modern rustic timber porch with a lean-to roof features a semi-circular headed entrance leading to a small internal porch, with a board door behind. Above the entrance is a plaque that reads "JAN 1770."
Inside, the original layout is well-preserved, featuring chamfered sawn ceiling beams and exposed joists. There is a complete set of four-board doors on the ground floor and a handrail of a dogleg, bracketed open string staircase. Heavy flags for the upstairs hearthstones rest on the joists.
This farmhouse represents a simple local type of brick construction, with a very complete interior and only slight changes to the window openings.
