Description
Stanway Green Farmhouse is a late 16th-century farmhouse featuring a three-cell main range with a slightly later service wing to the right that extends to the rear. There is also a mid-20th-century wing at the rear on the left. The building is timber framed and plastered, with a plaintiled roof at the front and a pantiled roof at the rear; the right end of the roof is hipped. The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic, with four windows, primarily 19th-century casements.
The entrance is a lobby with an early 19th-century doorway that has an architrave with convex reeding and corner roundels within squares, a cornice, and a six-panel raised and fielded door, two of the upper panels being glazed. Inside, there is an internal stack with the upper portion of the shaft rebuilt, and a small stack to the right at the end of the main range.
In the hall and parlour, there are roll-moulded axial bridging beams and end cornices, while the joists in both rooms are concealed. The parlour fireplace features stone jambs, likely a later reconstruction. The three first-floor chambers have cross-beamed ceilings, and there is some notable first-floor studding with reverse-curved braces. An original gable end window with ovolo mullions can be seen in a small gap where the later work meets the main structure. The parlour chamber fireplace dates to around 1800 and has an eared surround with a cast iron grate. The roof over the main range includes clasped and butt purlins with two-way wind braces, and there is an original newel stair leading to the attic at the parlour end. The service wing was originally gabled at the front and set slightly back from the front wall of the main range.
