Description

Green Man Farmhouse is a building that originally served as a public house and attached clubhouse, later becoming a farmhouse and is now divided into two houses. It dates from around 1700, with alterations made in 1741 and restoration in the 19th century. The structure is made of coursed limestone rubble with ashlar and render dressings, topped with pantile roofs featuring ashlar coped gables. It has a single ridge, a single lateral stack, and two gable brick stacks, with flush ashlar quoins.

The main block is two stories high and consists of four bays. The off-center doorway features a six-panel part glazed door surrounded by a Doric pilaster, supporting an entablature and pediment. This entrance is flanked by single glazing bar sash windows, with two similar sashes located to the right. Above, there are four slightly smaller sash windows, all of which have rendered, rusticated wedge lintels.

To the right is a lower connecting wing that has a half glazed door accessed by three steps, topped with a segment brick head. Above this door is a small glazing bar sliding sash. Further to the right is the former clubhouse, which features a chamfered ashlar plinth and a single bay gabled front. This section includes a large Venetian window with a plain ashlar surround, along with blocked side lights and fanlights. Above the Venetian window is a single plain sash under a brick segment head, with a blocked opening above.

The clubhouse was built around 1741 for members of the Lincoln Club, a group of local noblemen and gentlemen, likely funded by Thomas Chaplin of Blankney Hall. It once contained plaster roundels, each featuring a bust of a club member.
