Description
Green Farmhouse, Cottage, and Attached Farm Buildings consist of two houses, a barn, and farm buildings, all under a continuous roof. The date "BIM, 1757" is inscribed on the door lintel of No. 22, although the construction may have occurred in several phases. The buildings are made of watershot coursed rubble with a stone slate roof. Nos. 22 and 24 are each two stories and double-depth. No. 24 is one room wide, featuring a door to the right and a lean-to addition at the rear, while No. 22 is two rooms wide with a central entrance. The barn extends to the right, featuring opposed cart entries, and the shippon at the rear has two linked door openings. Stone quoins and a vertical joint separate Nos. 22 and 24, as well as the barn and shippon.
No. 24 has plain window and door openings with stone lintels and sills; the ground floor includes one flat-faced flush mullion, and the door has monolithic square-cut jambs and a lintel. The gable has a blocked first floor that includes a door and attic lights. No. 22 features a three-light double-chamfered ground floor window (one light has been blocked) and a four-light chamfered mullion window at the first floor (two mullions have been removed). The other two windows have concrete lintels and sills. The doorway has chamfered jambs and a heavy lintel. The barn has a segmental keystone arch cart entry with stone jambs. The two shippon doors have chamfered surrounds, with a window on either side and two semi-circular recesses above. An owl hole is present in the gable.
