Green Farmhouse

Green Farmhouse is a timber-framed farmhouse dating from the mid to late 16th century, with extensions added in the early 17th century at both ends and again later in the 17th century for the Frere family. Further alterations and extensions occurred in the 20th century. The construction is timber frame, with plastered walls and steeply pitched plain tiled roofs, some pantiles to the rear.

The original core likely consisted of two-storied bays, featuring a stack to the left and an apparent cross-passage bay to the right. This was extended with a two-bay parlour crosswing to the left and three bays to the right, potentially including 'unit house' accommodation with service functions. A later 17th-century dairy crosswing was added to the right, forming an irregular half-H shape on the plan.

The main range features a 20th-century gabled porch to the centre, and 20th-century three-light casement windows. An axial ridge stack is located to the left of the main range, with a rebuilt octagonal shaft broached to three octagonal moulded bases. The parlour wing projects slightly to the left and has 20th-century casements and acanthus consoles to the exposed plates. A glasshouse is on the left return, and a gable end projecting to the rear features a four-light ovolo mullioned attic window with acanthus consoles to the exposed plates. A 19th-century axial ridge stack to the kitchen, with two octagonal shafts following the earlier stack, is situated to the far right of the main range. The dairy wing extends forward with shaped brackets to the exposed plates in the gable front; the rear gable does not project, and 20th-century additions are present at the rear.

Internally, much of the timber frame is concealed. The hall has a quirked wave moulded cross axial binding beam, jowled storey posts, and an ovolo moulded door surround leading to the parlour. The former cross-passage bay contains a reassembled staircase reusing 18th-century vase balusters, a moulded handrail, and 19th-century newel posts with acorn finials. The original right-end wall exhibits close studding with a tension brace and arched braces to cambered tie beams. The hall chamber features an ovolo moulded four-centred arched brick fireplace, and stop-chamfered binding beams. The roof over the early bays has been altered, retaining original rafters. The three bays to the right have a single butt purling, collars to principals, and arched windbraces. The parlour has ovolo moulded mid-rails, a stop-chamfered axial binding beam, and an ovolo and hollow moulded four-centred arched brick fireplace. A partition has been removed to accommodate the staircase to the rear. The parlour chamber includes an ovolo moulded cross axial binding beam and side girts, a double butt purling roof with collars to principals, and arched windbraces. The dairy wing features run-out chamfered binding beams, with a first-floor jewel-stopped chamfered binding beam and run-out chamfered joists; the roof is largely renewed.
