Description
Green Farm House is a three-cell house of two storeys, dating from the 17th century or later. It is situated in Hunston. A single-storey outshut extends along most of the north elevation.
The south-east elevation displays a front door situated north-west of the centre, and two other doorways with segmental arches, now infilled with flint. A similar door is found at the south-east end of the rear elevation. Three windows are also present on the ground floor of the south-east elevation, each with a segmental arch; matching windows are positioned directly above them on the first floor. The north-west gable end features a larger ground-floor opening, also infilled with flint. The first floor displays exposed studs with some bracing. The outshut contains a back door, along with a large window and sliding patio doors on its north-east elevation. All windows and doors are modern replacements.
Inside, the house retains a three-cell plan. Modern brick fireplaces are present in the central hall and the south-east parlour, flanking the stack. A modern brick fireplace opens into the stack from the outshut. Original ceiling joists are visible throughout, supported by a transverse beam in the north-west room. A small square in the north corner of this room contains closely spaced joists set at right angles to the main joists, potentially indicating the original stair location. A hatch in the outshut allows a view of original first-floor studs and the modern outshut roof.
A staircase rises to the first-floor corridor from the south-west room, from which doors lead to three rooms, ending at the north-west bedroom. Visible tie-beams are spaced at regular intervals across the corridor and in each room. The first room, a parlour chamber, has a chimney breast with a 19th-century cast-iron fireplace. The fourth room at the end of the corridor is open to the roof, exhibiting common rafter construction with purlins clasped by collars and a ridge piece. The chimney stack in the roof space is rendered.
A barn, likely dating to the late 18th or early 19th century, is constructed of clay lump on a brick plinth, with a tiled roof and brick floor. This small, single-storey rectangular building has a pitched roof, a door facing the house, and large window openings to the south-west and north-west. It features a common rafter roof with a ridge piece, purlins, and collars.
