17 The Green

17 The Green is a single-unit cottage built in the second half of the 18th century. It is constructed from coursed limestone rubble sourced from the local Ketton quarry and features a Collyweston slate roof laid to courses, along with a beige brick end stack.

The cottage is located on the north side of The Green and has a rectangular plan, which includes a late 20th-century extension on the south gable end. It is a small, one-storey building with an attic under a pitched roof, and a late 20th-century ridge stack on the south gable. The north gable end, facing The Green, has a small, two-light wooden casement window from the late 20th century under an oak lintel, positioned just left of centre. On the east elevation, a former door has been blocked up with coursed limestone and replaced by a wooden two-leaf casement window, also under an oak lintel. A shallow gabled porch hood from the late 20th century, supported by metal brackets, suggests this was once the entrance. Above, there is a gabled dormer entirely within the roof space. The west elevation features a sliding sash window with an oak lintel, and the recessed coursed limestone below indicates that a door previously occupied this position. A circular tie-plate is located above the window. All windows date to the late 20th century.

The single-storey extension, also built of coursed limestone and topped with a Collyweston slate roof, is lit on three sides by wooden casements with oak lintels and tiled sills, and has a door on the west elevation. A stone plaque on the south gable is inscribed with the date 1995 and the initials CDN, which stand for the builder Charles Naylor.

Inside, the cottage has a simple layout with one ground-floor room and one attic room. A straight-flight staircase runs along the north wall, and a coursed rubblestone chimney breast with a log burner is located on the south wall, extending up to the attic. The roof structure is not visible as it is covered by plaster. The late 20th-century south extension includes a kitchen and bathroom.
