Description

High Green Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from around 1500, with alterations made in the 17th century and around 1800. It is a three-cell open hall house, standing two storeys tall, constructed of timber framing and plastered. The roof is covered with pantiles, and there is a 17th-century axial chimney made of narrow red bricks. The windows are 19th-century small-pane casements, and the entrance features an early 19th-century door with six fielded panels, set beneath an open gabled porch supported by posts, which has a Roman pantiled roof and serpentine bargeboards.

Inside, the farmhouse is a modest but well-built open hall with tension-braced close studding. There are twin service room doorways with four-centred arches, one of which has been restored. The parlour contains two diamond-mullioned windows. Although the open truss was removed from the hall in the 19th century, part of the original roof remains, featuring smoke-blackened rafters beneath the higher 19th-century roof. In the 17th century, a lintelled open fireplace was added to the parlour cell, using a lintel that was repurposed from a timber-framed chimney. The service cell was rebuilt during the 17th century.
