Description
Green Farmhouse is a former farmhouse with a late 15th century core and extensions from the early 17th and 18th centuries. The building has one storey and attics, constructed with timber framing and plaster. It features a thatched roof with 20th century eyebrow casement dormers. There are axial and gable chimneys made of red brick; the axial chimney was rebuilt in the mid-20th century, while the gable chimney was added in the 19th century. The mid-20th century includes casement windows and a boarded entrance door with an open porch covered with plain tiles and supported by posts.
The left-hand section of the farmhouse contains a 15th century open hall, where the roof and upper walling are nearly intact. The open truss features an arch-braced tie-beam with a cross-quadrate crownpost, although two braces have been removed. The end walls show close-studding and there is moderate smoke-blackening. Twin arched service doorways are believed to be hidden in the gable wall, indicating the loss of the service cell. Above the former parlour cell, there is evidence of a roof hip with a fragment of gablet that has a bonnet for smoke extraction, which is a rare survival. A heavy upper floor with exposed stop-chamfered joists was added in the late 16th century to the hall, featuring an open fireplace against the parlour cell. The parlour cell was rebuilt in the 17th century, and an extension was added to the right in the late 18th or early 19th century.
