Description
Green Farmhouse is a 17th-century lobby-entrance house that was extended in the 20th century. It is timber framed and roughcast rendered, with a thatched roof. The building has four bays aligned approximately northeast to southwest, with a southeast aspect and an axial chimney stack located in the second bay from the southwest, which creates the lobby entrance. There are two flat-roofed single-storey rear extensions from the 20th century. The farmhouse is single storey with attics and features a boarded door at the front of a thatched lean-to porch, along with three 20th-century casement windows and two additional windows in red-tiled gabled dormers. The roof is gambrel in style. Inside, there are two large wood-burning hearths made of 5-centimeter red bricks, which were built at the same time. The axial beams are plain chamfered with lamb's tongue stops, and the wallplates show face-halved and bladed scarfs.
