Description

Flash Green Farmhouse, now a house, was probably built in the late 17th century and extended shortly after, with a late 18th-century addition. It has been altered since. The farmhouse is mainly constructed from coursed thin sandstone rubble with some quoins, and has a tiled roof. It now has a T-shaped plan, formed by a north-south range of four bays, with short, coupled wings on the west side, two lean-to porches on the east side, and a lean-to at the north end. It likely began as a two-bay end-baffle-entry plan, with a further bay added to the south end, and the 18th-century addition creating a loomshop on that side.

The front (east side) has a lean-to porch with a side door. To the right of the porch, there are two horizontal rectangular windows on each floor. The ground floor window on the left is a three-light double-chamfered mullion window; the others have been altered. A vertical joint is visible above the top left corner of the porch. To the left of the porch is a blocked doorway, a four-light double-chamfered mullion window at ground floor (lacking two mullions) with a damaged hoodmould, and a similar three-light window above (lacking both mullions). There is also an inserted door and a modern glazed porch, alongside the altered 18th-century addition to the left.

The rear (west side) has coupled gabled two-storey wings, with quoins at the first floor junction, and other signs of alteration in the masonry. Each wing has one mullioned window on each floor, though most mullions are missing, and all retain hoodmoulds. Those in the left wing are higher, and may have originally been part of a stair turret. To the left is one similar window, similarly altered, on each floor, and a square window on each floor of the end bay. The rear wall of the loomshop has an altered triple window at ground floor and an altered oblong window above.

Inside, the housepart in the present third bay has an inglenook with a chamfered stone heck, a 1/4-round moulded bressummer, and a carved salt cupboard built into the heck. The second bay (the early addition) has a smaller inglenook with a chamfered bressumer. Otherwise, the interior has undergone alterations.
