Sootfield Green

The house at Sootfield Green dates from the 18th century, with later additions and modifications in the 19th and early 20th centuries. It is likely originally constructed of brick, now rendered apart from the dentil eaves course, and has a tile roof. The original design was a two-bay lobby entry plan, subsequently extended eastward and westward by a single bay, with the western extension being narrower than the original section. The property is two storeys high. The front entrance is beneath a stack, featuring a part-glazed door under a tiled porch. The front elevation has small, multi-paned metal-framed casement windows; at ground floor, these are two-light units under cambered arches, and at first floor they are two-light units set beneath an eaves band. Smaller single-light windows are present in the extensions and an inserted window in the right bay. There is an axial brick stack with brick bands. The rear elevation has a similar arrangement of ground floor two-light casements under cambered arches, and a broad ledge and battened door in the left bay. First floor windows consist of small-paned, two-light casements in timber and metal, and a single metal-framed light beneath a stack. The western extension features a rear internal stack, an entrance, and a single two-light casement on each floor. The interior includes east and west-facing fireplaces; the eastern fireplace retains brick piers and a bressumer, but includes an inserted grate, while the western fireplace has been largely rebuilt in the 20th century. There are flanking cupboards dating circa 1900. A 18th-century winder stair features a vertically boarded door with HL hinges. Two 18th-century fielded panel doors are present on the first floor, one in situ with HL hinges and the other rehung on strap hinges. A possible closet is located behind the stack, with a lower part of the timber partition reordered. Circa 1900 boarded panelling is found on the first floor, along with contemporary ledge and batten doors on both floors. The roof is a clasped purlin roof which has been extended eastward and westward.
