Description

Church Green House is a farmhouse that was originally built as cottages, dating from the early to mid-17th century, with a late 18th-century facade. The building features a timber frame, with the ground floor constructed of red and grey brick in Flemish bond, while the first floor is weatherboarded. The right gable end and the right side of the rear wing are tile-hung, and the house has a plain tile roof. It is designed in a T-plan, positioned at right angles to the road.

The main range consists of three timber-framed bays that were previously divided on the ground floor into a two-bay room on the left and a single-bay room on the right. There is a central rear wing containing one timber-framed bay, with a stack bay located between it and the main range. A late 18th-century bay is set at right angles to the left side of the wing, filling the angle between it and the main range. The house is two stories high with a garret and features a brick plinth. Both ends of the main range and the rear of the wing have half-hipped roofs, as does the left gable end of the 18th-century bay.

The building has an irregular arrangement of windows, including two casements—one two-light located towards the center and one three-light at the right end. There are three ground-floor casements with segmental heads, and two-light ovolo-moulded mullion attic windows in the rear gable of the rear wing. A blocked doorway is found towards the right end of the central bay, and there is a lean-to on the right side of the rear wing, which includes a half-glazed door.

Inside, the house features exposed framing, chamfered beams, and shaped jowls. There are plain brick fireplaces with wooden bressumers located at the rear of the stack on the ground floor and at the front and rear on the first floor. An elliptical fireplace with a bressumer is situated at the front side of the stack on the ground floor. Stairs to the attic are located to the right of the stack. Mortices for a six-light diamond mullion attic window can be found at the right end of the main range. The roof structure includes clasped purlins with diminishing principal rafters, curved windbraces, and vertical queen struts supporting the collars. The building was formerly known as Church Green.
