Description

All Saints' Cottage is a former farmhouse associated with Green Farm, dating from the mid to late 16th century. The building has two storeys and features a basic two-cell lobby-entrance plan, comprising five bays. A service bay was added in the late 16th century, along with a further extension in the mid-20th century at the south-west end. The cottage is constructed with a timber frame and roughcast render, topped with a plaintiled roof. It has 20th-century casement windows in a traditional style, along with a 20th-century porch and door.

Inside, the chimney stack is made of Tudor red bricks and has a plain shaft. The interior showcases good studding, with a middle rail and large cranked reversed braces in the side walls. In the parlour, the main beams and joists are adorned with multiple roll-mouldings. The hall features a main beam with a plain chamfer and cut-off stops, along with shaped post-heads. There is one original three-light window with octagonal-section mullions, and another very small original opening with a single bar. The main section of the house has a queen-post roof with five bays, characterized by queen-posts with shaped heads, cambered collars, and very thin braces, while the common rafters appear to have been renewed. The later added bay has a significantly altered clasped purlin roof.
