Description
Cole Green House is a house with origins in the 18th century, but it was largely developed in the early 19th century as a dower house for the 5th Earl Cowper of Panshanger, with later additions from the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of stock brick, which was likely originally stuccoed, along with some sections of 18th-century red brick and later red brick additions. It features slate roofs with some tiled areas and stands two storeys tall.
The main range, which is three bays wide and dates from the early 19th century, has a ground floor that includes a 20th-century entrance on the left with a panelled door, a semi-circular fanlight, and a projecting Doric porch with small flanking lights. The central window is a glazing bar sash, and there is a tripartite sash to the right. A plat band runs along the first floor, which has three sashes. All windows are recessed and have segmental heads. The eaves soffit is panelled, and there are end pilaster strips. The gable ends are coped with parapets and have extruded end stacks.
At the ends of the main range are contemporary or slightly later wings: a one-bay wing to the right with sashes, a plat band, a pilaster strip, and a hipped roof; and a two-bay wing to the left, which is set back further and features ground floor French doors leading into a 20th-century conservatory addition, along with first-floor sashes. To the rear left, there is an 18th-century red brick block with a hipped tiled roof, which has a lean-to outshut on the outer elevation and a late 19th-century attic addition. The rear also features a catslide roof over the lean-to and double doors on the inner elevation. To the rear right is a late 19th-century range that runs parallel to the front, with a broad gable on the right end that has bargeboards. This range follows the earlier design details and includes stacks with oversailing caps, along with a gabled wing extending to the rear centre. The interior has not been inspected.
