Description

Bromley Green Farmhouse is a house dating from the 16th century or earlier, with alterations made between the 16th and 19th centuries. It features a timber frame, with some sections exposed and roughcast infill, and is underbuilt with red brick, flanked by brick-clad wings. The roof is plain tiled and has a hipped design with gablets, as well as stacks located at the centre left, end left, and end right. The building has two storeys and stands on a plinth made partly of ragstone, with a jetty over the central two framed bays. The left-hand wing's brickwork is from the early 18th century, while the west wing is likely from the 19th century. The first floor has four old leaded metal casements, and the ground floor features three segmentally headed 20th-century metal casements. A half-glazed door is located to the centre left, and there is a two-storey rear wing.

Inside, a screens passage remains, featuring one chamfered doorway that is almost round-arched. There is a hollow chamfered dais beam with a fillet, and tongue-stopped chamfered ceiling beams from a 16th-century insertion. Blocked inglenook fireplaces are present, along with partly exposed tie beams that may have supported crown posts. It is possible that an earlier roof and frame structure, which may have included aisles or semi-aisles, still exists.
