Description

The Green Man Public House is a building that was originally a house, dating from the 16th century, with the hall range rebuilt in the 17th century and a northern wing added in the 19th century. It underwent single-storey rear extensions and renovation around 1984. The structure features a timber frame on a brick sill, roughcast exterior, and steep old red tile roofs, with slate roofs on the rear extensions.

This irregular two-storey building is set back from the road and faces west. The southern part is taller, with a jettied front and a chimney on the south gable. The slightly lower hall range is also two-storeys high and includes a gabled projecting porch where the height changes, along with a front lean-to to its left. There is a chimney at the northern end of the hall range, located at the junction with the lower gabled two-storey northern wing, which is likely made of brick under the roughcast and faces north.

The west front features three-light casement windows, and the porch door has a pointed head. There is a similar pointed doorway to the central porch on the north side of the northern wing, flanked by two windows on each floor. Additionally, there is a one-and-a-half-storey short gabled rear wing on the southern part, which includes a gabled dormer.
