Description
The Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century and later, with the north gable dated 1759 in iron letters. It features a timber frame on a plinth, which is rendered and colourwashed, topped by a steeply-pitched reed-thatched roof. The building has two storeys and an attic, with 2 and 3-light casement windows from the 19th and 20th centuries. There is a drip board over the ground floor windows on the east side. The farmhouse has an off-centre axial chimney stack with pilaster strips. On the west side, there are two entrance doors: one opposite the stack and one at the north-west corner, both featuring 20th-century gabled porches. A 3-light attic casement is present in the south gable. The north gable has been rebuilt in 18th-century brick with tumbling-in to the parapet and moulded eaves corbels, along with an internal chimney stack. Additionally, there is a pantiled lean-to at the north-east corner and a small pantiled and weatherboarded lean-to at the south gable.
