Description
Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, with the cross-wing possibly being older. It features a three-cell main range and a service cross-wing to the west. The building is timber framed, mostly plastered, with part of the service wing faced or rebuilt in colourwashed brick, and it has a thatched roof. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with an attic only in the parlour cell.
The north face of the main range has mostly 19th-century casement windows and a mid-20th-century entrance addition with a side door. The south side features mainly mid-20th-century standard casements and a small gabled porch. There is a large single-pane window on the east gable end facing the road. The service wing has various openings, including one slatted window in the north gable end. Each range has an internal stack with a rendered shaft.
Inside, the farmhouse has been modernised, with plain joists set flat in the ground floor rooms and an altered newel stair. The main members of the frame are visible on the upper floor, but there is no studding. A cambered tie beam spans the hall chamber. The roof is of a very regular form, featuring clasped purlins and almost straight wind braces only in the end bays. The service wing has been significantly altered, especially on the ground floor, and the stack is a later addition. The roof of the service wing has clasped purlins and includes a few re-used medieval rafters.
