Hay Green Farmhouse

Hay Green Farmhouse is a house built around 1800, with extensions added in the 19th and 20th centuries. It has a timber frame that is plastered and a slate roof. The building has a double range that forms a square plan facing south. There is an internal chimney between the ranges on the left and an external chimney at the rear left. To the left, there is a conservatory with an apsidal end, and at the rear left, there is a 19th-century lean-to that encloses the stack. A 20th-century lean-to is located at the rear right, leaving a central space between them. The farmhouse is two storeys high, featuring two ground-floor sash windows with 6+6 lights and three first-floor sash windows with 3+6 lights, all with reeded architraves. The central entrance has a recessed half-glazed door, framed by a doorcase with two Gothic attached columns that have moulded bases, caps, and bands, topped with a flat canopy decorated with a Greek key ornament. The low-pitched roof has four hips and long overhanging eaves; it was reported to have been covered with lead until it was stolen around 1970. The left elevation has one ground-floor and one first-floor window similar to those at the front, while the right elevation has two of each. The rear elevation features a central first-floor sash window with a semicircular head and two half-round pilasters. Inside, there is an original staircase with a pine handrail, a turned newel, and stick balusters. The farmhouse is shown as Grays Gate on a highway diversion map from 1810.
