Description

Green Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building that consists of two farm cottages, originally serving as a farmhouse. It has a fragmentary medieval core, with the majority of the structure dating from the 16th century. The main range is three cells long, with a later addition at the rear on the left side. To the right, there is a 16th-century service range that was originally detached from the main range and extends to the rear, now connected by a single-storey addition from the 20th century. The building is timber framed and plastered, featuring pantiled roofs, with glazed black pantiles on the service wing. It stands two storeys high and has various 19th and 20th-century casement windows. The right cottage includes a 19th-century six-panel raised and fielded door, with the upper two panels glazed, while the left cottage has a half-glazed door. There is an internal stack and a gable stack on the right side.

The interior of the main range has been significantly altered in the 19th and 20th centuries, with little of the original frame exposed. However, the cross partition between the hall and service cells is of medieval origin, and the visible portion in the roof space shows signs of partial sooting and a tie beam housing, suggesting it was once the end wall of an open hall with a cross-wing beyond. The roof over the hall and parlour features butt and clasped purlins with two-way cranked wind-braces. The service cell has irregular heavy joists visible on the ground floor, while the first floor and roof structure date from the 18th century. The service range consists of two cells with substantial floors and plain joists, topped by a queen-post roof. The gable stack is likely a 17th-century addition. The interiors have not been fully examined.
