Description
The Old Green Cottage is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations and additions made in the mid-19th century. It is timber-framed with painted brick infill and has a machine-tiled roof. The house has two framed bays aligned north/south, featuring an external brick chimney with tiled offsets and a detached stack at the south gable. It is a single-storey building with an attic containing dormers.
The timber framing consists of three panels from sill to wall-plate, with long straight braces in the lower corners. The collar and tie-beam truss at the south gable end has three struts. The east front has two rectangular ground-floor windows with plank weatherings. It also has two gabled dormers with two-light casements. A central gabled timber porch with trellis infill and a brick base is present, along with a 19th-century ledged and battened door. There is also an attic light in the gable end. The interior was not inspected.
A 19th-century brick bay adjoins the north gable end, with a ledged and battened door in its front elevation and an external brick chimney to the rear.
