Smiths Green Farmhouse

The farmhouse dates to the 17th and 18th centuries, with alterations made in the 19th century. It is timber-framed, with plaster infill and a roof of handmade red clay tiles. The building comprises a 5-bay range aligned approximately north-south, dating to the 17th century, with a 19th-century external chimney stack on the east wall. A shorter, parallel 4-bay range was added to the west in the 18th century, featuring two internal chimney stacks. A 19th-century porch is situated in the southwest angle. The south elevation has a half-glazed door within a tiled, gabled porch of Gothic Revival style, featuring fretted bargeboards. There is one 20th-century casement window and one French window on the ground floor, with a 20th-century casement window and a late 19th-century double-hung sash window of four lights on the first floor. Late 19th-century fretted bargeboards are present on the gable of the east wing, and the west roof is hipped. The east elevation has a ground-floor window with an 18th-century horizontally sliding sash of 16 lights, and two first-floor windows of 24 lights, with crown glass. The north elevation features an 18th-century wooden lattice on one ground-floor window. The interior of the east range showcases transverse and axial beams with plain-chamfered stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops, and joists plastered to the soffits. In the west range, the beams are plain, and oat chaff is visible between the ceiling and floor, used as insulation.
