Description
Titmore Green Farmhouse is a late medieval hall house with a south wing added around 1600. It was heightened and floored in the late 17th century and underwent renovations in the 19th century. The structure features a timber frame on a plastered brick sill and is roughcast. The ground floor front is cased in a chequered pattern of red and blue brick, and it has steep old red tile roofs.
This two-storey house is designed in an H-plan and is set back from the road, facing east. It has three windows on each floor and an entrance located at the angle with the north wing. The front is topped with a parapet between the wings. The south wing has 18th-century flush box sash windows with 6/6 panes, while the hall features 6/3 windows above 6/6, and the north wing has 3/3 windows. The entrance boasts an eight-panel fielded door framed by wooden surrounds with fluted pilasters, a full entablature, and a triangular pediment.
At the rear, there is a lateral chimney from the late 17th century serving the hall, along with two projecting chimney stacks on the north side of the north wing and a large lateral chimney on the south wing. A projecting gabled stair turret is aligned with the entrance door, and there is a small two-light window above the front door.
The original house included a service bay at the south end of the open hall, which had low eaves, and a two-storey north crosswing that jutted out to the east. The south cross-wing was formed by additions to the old south bay around 1600. Late 17th-century alterations included heightening the old range, adding a floor, inserting a rear sidewall chimney and staircase, converting the service room into a kitchen, and creating new storage space in a narrower west extension of the south wing. The stair turret was large enough to have also served as a dairy. The parlour chimney was built or rebuilt in the 17th or 18th century, and a rear passage to the west of the hall was added in the 19th century.
