Description

High Green comprises originally workshops, later offices, and converted to residential use in 1982. The building dates from the early to mid-19th century, with a datestone reading 'SG 1823' on the eastern flint wing – although this was moved from a different location within the building. It is built in an industrial Victorian style with classical details. The ground floor is brick, while the first floor has a timber frame with an ashlar-lined stucco finish. The building is two storeys high, with a single-storey flint and brick wing to the east, now shorter than originally.

The northern part has a four-window front, with sash windows on the first floor and top-hung casements on the ground floor. There’s a wooden fascia at first-floor level. A ground-floor bay window and a first-floor oriel are at the north end. The north gable has two windows, the bays separated by pilasters. The front has modern three-panel double doors. The roof is slated, topped by a timber-framed, louvred clock tower.

The southern part of the building has four bays divided by pilasters. It has two sashes, two blocked bays at the south end, and modern doors similar to the north gable. The roof here is pantiled. All windows feature small panes and cast iron lintels.
