Description
Wrangling Green is a house dating from the late 16th century to early 17th century, with a slightly later rear wing. It features framed construction on a sandstone rubble base, with the front elevation and rear wing covered in weatherboarding, while the right side is tile-hung. The roof is made of peg tiles and has brick stacks.
The house faces west and has a three-room lobby entrance plan. The two left-hand rooms are heated by back-to-back fireplaces in an axial stack, while the inner (south) room is unheated. There is an outshut containing a straight staircase, likely from the 18th century. The rear left (northeast) wing, which has an end stack, is probably an 18th-century kitchen addition. The partition between the two southern rooms in the main block has been removed, and the current entrance is located on the north return, leading into the wing.
The house is two storeys high. The main block has a gabled roof at the left end and a half-hipped roof at the right end, with an axial stack featuring a staggered shaft. The front has an asymmetrical arrangement of four windows, with two- and three-light 20th-century casements that have diamond leaded panes. The wing has similar windows. The rear elevation includes a catslide roof over the outshut and a gabled dormer. There is a gabled, weatherboarded 20th-century porch on the left return.
Inside, the house is well-preserved, showcasing exposed carpentry in the ground floor rooms, including chamfered crossbeams. The hall fireplace features a moulded timber lintel, and the wall framing retains complete flared jowls on the wall posts.
The roof structure consists of a tie-beam, clasped purlin, and queen strut design, which was re-roofed in the 20th century over the north end room of the main range. The roof of the wing was not inspected at the time of the survey.
