Perry Green Farmhouse

Perry Green Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century, with alterations made in the 18th and 20th centuries. It is timber framed, roughcast rendered, and has a roof covered with handmade red plain tiles. The main range has three bays and faces south, featuring an internal stack at the right end against the front wall and an external stack from the 18th or 19th century at the left end. There is a two-bay crosswing to the right, which was re-roofed in the 18th or 19th century to align with the main range. At the rear, there are two parallel wings from the 18th or 19th century and the early 20th century, along with single-storey extensions in the rear left and right angles that create catslides with the main block. The single-storey extension to the rear left has a pantiled roof. The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a four-window range of 19th and 20th-century casements, along with a 20th-century door. The gablet hip is located at the left end of the main roof, and the roof ridge to the right of the main stack is slightly higher than that to the left.

The main range and crosswing are structurally separate but both date from the early to mid-16th century, featuring jowled posts and heavy studding. The main range contains a chamfered transverse beam with step stops, and to the left of it, a similar axial beam, both originally studded to form twin service rooms, although the internal studs have now been removed. The service end is notably long. To the right is a chamfered axial beam, and the joists are plastered to the soffits. There is a large wood-burning hearth facing left, primarily made of 16th-century brickwork, but it has been renewed below the level of the mantel beam. The crownpost roof is intact, featuring an unusually heavy collar-purlin with an edge-halved and bridled scarf, along with thin axial braces. The crosswing has diamond mortices for unglazed windows in the right wall, with a shutter groove in the lower storey but none above. The floor joists from this wing have been removed and reused to create an open partition in the left bay of the main range, exposing the jointing and soffit tenon with diminished haunch in the binding beam. The roof above the tiebeam level has been rebuilt.
