Description

The Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse that likely dates from the 15th or 16th century, with alterations around 1600 and further changes in the 19th century, as well as a mid-to-late 20th century addition and remodelling. It is constructed with a timber frame in cruck style, and the walls have probably been rebuilt and rendered, likely over rubblestone. There is a red brick addition and a slate roof. The building has three framed bays running approximately east-west, with a 20th-century addition to the northwest. It is one storey with an attic.

On the south front, there is a large 20th-century flat-topped eaves dormer featuring two 2-light wooden casements on either side of a central 3-light wooden casement, and a gabled dormer to the north with a 2-light wooden casement. There is an off-centre brick ridge stack to the east and an external brick end stack for the 20th-century rear wing. The south elevation has four windows, including late 20th-century one-, two-, and three-light wooden casements, a half-glazed door in the left-hand gable end, and a boarded door at the rear.

Inside, the farmhouse contains at least two full cruck trusses and likely has a floor inserted around 1600, featuring ogee-stopped chamfered beams. The central ground-floor room has a large open fireplace from around 1600, which displays crude but vigorous symbolic caning that includes dragons, a lion with a man's head, various figures and beasts, and symbols such as a heart, a sword, latticework, a three-legged figure (representing the Isle of Man), and some indecipherable lettering. The house was probably originally an open hall before the first floor and stack were inserted around 1600.
