Description
Homer Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates back to the 16th century. It features a cruck frame, with a combination of brick and stone, topped with a slate roof. The building has two storeys and three bays, with two buttresses supporting its structure. The first bay has a lower section made of stone, and the windows are designed with segmental-headed three-light horizontally sliding sashes. The window in the first bay on the first floor is a sashed window with glazing bars. The entrance is located in the second bay, and there is a ridge stack present. The left side of the building has a horizontally sliding sash window and another first-floor sash with glazing bars. The rear wing includes a horizontally sliding sash window, a 20th-century porch, and a gable-end stack. Although the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to contain cruck trusses, plastered beams, a deep inglenook, and wide-boarded doors on strap hinges, including one two-panel door.
