Description

Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 17th century, with a front block added in 1795, as indicated on the garden wall. The building features a timber frame that is plastered, with steeply pitched plain tiled roofs, hipped on the front block. The structure has a three-bay front block that is at right angles to the earlier hall and parlour cells, which have been converted into a service wing, forming an L shape in plan. It is two storeys high with an attic in the rear wing.

The farmhouse has an offset brick plinth and a central entrance that features a part-glazed and part-raised six-panelled door, which is set within a reused doorcase. The architrave has panelled jambs and a panelled frieze that includes the initials 'TGC 1837', with consoles supporting the hood and a panelled soffit. The windows consist of part-opening metal frame three-light glazing bar casements, with two lights in the centre on the first floor, and boxed eaves.

At the rear right, there is an extruded stack in a lean-to addition with a slate roof, and a first-floor leaded two-light casement. The left return of the service wing features a late 18th-century cross axial ridge stack towards the front, along with an earlier axial ridge stack that has been rebuilt between the kitchen and dairy, or the original hall and parlour. The rear gable end has an attic casement, and the inner return includes a lobby entrance.

Inside, the early wing contains an ovolo moulded axial binding beam in the former parlour at the rear, and a broach stopped cross axial binding beam on stop-chamfered storey posts in the former hall. There is a late 18th-century staircase with a columnar newel, slat balusters, and a moulded handrail. The first-floor parlour chamber features an ovolo moulded axial binding beam, stop-chamfered wall plates, and collars with halved principals clasping purlins. The frame is concealed in the front block.

Attached to the front left corner of the farmhouse is a low flint and red brick wall, approximately 1 meter high, which curves around to enclose part of the front garden. This wall has an offset plinth, rounded coping, and the date 1795 is highlighted in red brick on its outer face.
