Green Farmhouse

Green Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating to the 16th and 17th centuries. It is timber-framed and rendered, with old plain tiles on the roof. The house is two storeys high, with part of it having attics, and is arranged in an L-shape. It has boxed-in eaves. A prominent internal chimney stack is constructed of Tudor brick, featuring three short hexagonal shafts with corbelled heads on a rectangular base. An external stack to the left displays three octagonal shafts with moulded caps and bases, built upon a high rectangular base faced with two bands of diaper-patterned tiles. The windows are mainly two-light and three-light casements, with a single horizontal bar dividing the lights on the upper floor. A single window on the upper floor has an ovolo-moulded mullion, while a repaired original three-light diamond-mullioned window is on the ground floor. There are two matching entrances, originally for a house that was divided into two dwellings, each with moulded surrounds and bracketed flat pediments. The doors are replacements from the mid-20th century, one fully glazed and one partially glazed.

The central three bays represent the core of the house, dating to the early 16th century, built with a cross-entry plan and two service rooms. The end wall of the service rooms on the ground floor has since been removed, and housings remain for two original four-light diamond-mullioned windows. Good quality plain framing is visible throughout the building, although the roof is a 20th-century replacement. In the hall chamber truss, long arched braces have been removed, but the cambered tie retains mortice holes for the queenposts of the original roof. A 17th-century wing extends to the rear, and was formerly gabled on the front. It contains two rooms on each floor, and in the attic space. The ground floor of the wing features an ovolo-moulded main beam and widely spaced narrow joists. The upper floor has a fireplace with a moulded brick arch. The roof has two rows of unstepped butt purlins at the front, with the remainder replaced in the 20th century. Cut-down sections of carved bargeboarding, reused in a later internal partition, are believed to originate from the missing front gable. A late 16th/early 17th century parlour wing is located on the right, and was likely added in conjunction with the internal chimney stack. The timbers in this wing are mostly covered. A four-light original window with chamfered mullions is present on the rear wall. The roof has clasped purlins and windbraces.
