Description

Friends Green Farmhouse is a timber-frame building, likely dating to the 17th century or earlier in its western wing, with a northern wing built around 1700, and later infill work added in the 18th or 19th century. The building is constructed with roughcast timber framing and has steep-pitched roofs covered in old red tiles. The farmhouse has a compact rectangular shape and faces west towards the roadside. The 1 1/2-storey western wing has two windows and two gabled dormers at the eaves. A gabled projecting porch leads to a lobby entrance, with a large internal chimney featuring a moulded brick capping with three square shafts in a line along the roof ridge, the outer shafts set diagonally. The windows are flush casement lights. The ground floor is likely brick-cased under the roughcast. The two-storey northern wing has two windows, and a northeast corner fireplace that is now enclosed by a two-storey hipped and gabled infill section in the angle. Inside, there are axial beams and a staircase with splat balusters in the southwest corner of the northern wing.
