Description

No. 14 Great Green is a house that dates back to the 17th century, with a western part built in that period and an eastern gable aligned with the old building line to the green. The northeast extension is likely from the early 18th century, while a parallel southeast brick extension and recasing of the old part occurred in the 19th century, marked by 'WDP 1846' in the apex of the new brickwork on the southern wing. The structure features a timber frame on a brick sill, with roughcast on the north side and the northern half of the eastern gable end. The southern half and side are made of red brick, and the roofs are slate. The oldest section is one and a half storeys tall and originally ran north-south, with a former external eastern chimney on the southern part. A wider range extends at right angles to the west of the northern part, with walls from a former large oven enclosure and a lower roof on the western end. There is a narrow eastern extension at an angle to the northern end, which is timber-framed and has an internal northern chimney. The wider parallel brick extension on its southern side has a new pitched roof covering both extensions. The house features two-light flush casement windows with segmental arches, and the interior showcases exposed framing.
