Description

Little Green Cottage is a former farmhouse dating from the 16th to early 17th century, built in two phases. There are mid-20th century additions at the rear. The cottage is timber framed and plastered, with the right gable end encased in red brick. It features a thatched roof and has two storeys plus an attic. The front has four mid-20th century small-paned casement windows, along with a mid-20th century glazed door and an open porch. Inside, there are two internal stacks with plain 19th century shafts. The interior has not been examined.
