Description

Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 16th century, featuring a three-cell range with a slightly later two-cell service cross-wing to the left, which projects to the front and rear. The building underwent early 19th-century alterations. It is timber framed, with the facade covered in colourwashed brick on the ground floor and plastered above, while the remainder is roughcast-rendered. The roof is pantiled at the front and plaintiled at the rear. The farmhouse has two storeys and an attic over the hall only. There are three windows, mostly 19th-century sashes with glazing bars in flush frames, along with a small 18th-century casement window to the upper left. The entrance features a lobby with a gabled porch and a mid-20th-century battened plank door. A gabled dormer is present, and there is an internal stack, with the upper part of the shaft rebuilt in the mid-20th century, featuring three diamond flues. Attached to the front gable end of the wing is a lean-to addition with a slatted window. Internally, most of the timbers are concealed, but several early 19th-century doorways with reeded architraves can be found, along with a newel stair leading to the first floor. The roof over the hall has clasped and butt purlins.
