Description

Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around 1500 to 1530, featuring a three-cell plan and originally designed with a cross-entry. The building has two storeys and is constructed from timber framing with plaster, while the first floor juts out over the ground floor towards the green, supported by chamfered knees. The roof is covered with concrete tiles, and there is a 16th-century red brick chimney, with part of the shaft rebuilt in the 20th century.

The farmhouse has early 19th-century small-pane sash windows, and on the ground floor, there are two pairs of early 19th-century French windows, each pair topped with pointed arches formed by the upper row of glazing bars. The entrance door, which is from the 20th century, is boarded and features an oblong fanlight, positioned at the lobby entrance.

Inside, there is notable early 16th-century framing, including heavy unchamfered floor joists and close-studding, along with a blocked cross-entry doorway that has a 4-centred arch. A blocked window in the hall features one roll-and-cavetto mullion, while a complete blocked window in the parlour has chamfered square mullions. The roof structure includes chamfered square crownposts with two-way braces, and the open trusses are supported by short, thick 4-centred arch-braces.

To the left of the main structure is a service cell, which has heavy plain framing typical of the late 15th century. This section may have originally been a separate building that was demolished and re-erected in the 16th or 17th century. The studding and tie-beams are widely spaced, with massive arch braces. Both sections of the farmhouse originally had hipped roofs, which were later modified to gables with clasped purlins around 1600.
