Description

Green End Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with some alterations made in the 19th century. It features colour washed brick and some rough cast over a timber frame, topped with a clay tile roof. The building has a T-plan layout, with a front block that has two storeys and attics, and a rear block that is also two storeys, along with various one-storey additions to the sides and rear.

The front elevation has three windows on the ground floor and four on the first floor, all set under rendered flat arches. There is one gabled dormer, and all windows are casements with 19th-century glazing bars. The front door, which is from the 20th century, is situated under a sloping hood. The ground floor features three sloping buttresses, a brick string course, a corbelled brick cornice, and brick copings on both gable ends.

On the west elevation, there is a small projecting gable with similar coping and recessed geometrical shapes as decoration. The roof has triple octagonal ridge stacks made of red brick, a canted bay, and various sash windows, some of which are similar to those on the front elevation.
