36, West Green

No. 36 West Green is a house dating from the mid to late 16th century that has been renovated and extended at the rear. It features a timber frame that is roughcast rendered and tiled, with a rendered ridge stack containing two flues. The building has a single range, four-bay plan that includes an entry and a chimney bay, and it stands two storeys high with an attic. Each storey has three modern leaded light windows, and there is a doorway located opposite the stack.

Inside, some of the timber framing is exposed. The ground floor room at the east end retains its original floor frame with joists laid flat. An original wall that separated this room from a cross passage at the rear of the stack has been removed. The hall features an original ceiling with intersecting main beams that are stop-chamfered. In the north wall, there is evidence of a former four-light shuttered window opening with diamond mullions, and an original lintel remains in place between the hall and an arch at the west end. The inglenook fireplace in the hall is off-centre, and the chamfer of the main beam has been obscured by the chimney, which may be an enlargement of an original stack or an insertion into a previously unheated building that might have had a special purpose.

On the first floor, there are surviving arch braces in one tie beam and evidence of others. The ceilings on this level appear to have been inserted, likely in the 17th century, and the roof structure is possibly from a similar period, indicating a rebuild. The roof is of the clasped side purlin type.
