Description
Hook Green House is a house dating from the 16th century, which was altered and extended around 1820. It features a timber frame that is clad and extended with red and blue brick on a sandstone base, and the first floor is tile hung with a plain tiled roof. The main elevation, from the 19th century, is two storeys high and sits on a plinth with a brick corbelled course at the first floor level. The roof is hipped, with stacks located at the rear left and the end right. The windows are regularly arranged, with three large bar sash windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, along with a central half-glazed door that has a rectangular fanlight above it and a moulded flat porch roof supported by tapered posts. There is a brick dated 1820 to the left of the door. The house has half hipped rear wings and a single storey service wing that features boarded half-doors and metal casements. Inside, the rear wing reveals an exposed frame that is likely from the 16th century, along with a large stone stack that now faces into the 19th-century wing, which includes an inglenook and a salt cupboard. Both wings display modest early 19th-century moulded wood and plaster work.
