Description
Nettlestead Green House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the late 14th century or early 15th century, with alterations from the 16th or early 17th century, the 19th century, and the 1920s. It is timber framed and clad with weatherboarding, with the right gable end rebuilt in roughly coursed ragstone. The roof is covered in plain tiles and has a steeply-pitched hipped design. The building consists of five timber-framed bays, with an open hall featuring two roughly equal-length bays and storeyed end bays, the right end bay having a further narrow integral bay. It stands two storeys high on a ragstone plinth, with a gable end jetty on the left side. There is a brick stack on the front slope of the roof to the left end of the right hall bay, and a gable end stack on the right. The fenestration is irregular, featuring four leaded windows, including a three-light casement in the left end bay, another in a weatherboarded through dormer with a hipped plain tile roof over each hall bay, and a small four-light diamond mullion window with latticed glazing towards the right end. A boarded door is located to the right end of the right hall bay.
At the rear, there is a short two-storey weatherboarded wing from the 1920s, also with a plain tile roof and a brick stack. Inside, the house features exposed framing, including a moulded and brattished left end-of-hall beam, shaped jowls on the principal posts, and moulded central truss posts. The central tie-beam is chamfered with hollow-chamfered arch braces that would have met towards the centre, and there is a slender moulded octagonal crown post. A chamfered cornice-beam runs along the rear wall of the hall. The plain end-of-hall crown posts have foot braces, and there are two chamfered pointed-arched service doors to the right end of the hall, along with a plain architrave leading to solid-tread stairs rising within the storeyed right bay. The hall floor has chamfered cross beams and joists, and there is a brick fireplace.
