Green Farmhouse

Farmhouse, built around 1730, incorporating some 17th-century materials. The construction is of coursed magnesian limestone with a machine tiled roof.

The house has a modified through-passage plan. The east elevation has two storeys and a three-window range. A central doorway is topped with a timber lintel, featuring four panels and two glazed lights. A late 18th-century two-light iron casement with leaded panes is located to the south, with a similar three-light casement to the right. The first floor also has three late 18th-century two-light timber cross casements, one of which has been renewed in the 20th century. Internal gable-end stacks are positioned to the north and south.

The rear elevation includes an 18th-century gabled single-storey and attic cross wing. A glazed 20th-century door is on the north side, accompanied by a two-light 20th-century casement to its right and a larger, similar casement to the attic. A lean-to extension was added in 1992 to the south angle. A projecting staircase tower is located north of the cross wing, with a single-light casement from the early 18th century providing light. A similar casement, renewed in the 20th century, is on the first floor north of the staircase.

The interior of the rear cross wing has a chamfered bridging beam with a stop at the west end. The hallway and two ground-floor rooms are paved with stone flags, with the south room’s flags covered by a concrete screed. The hallway contains a junction of reused 17th-century cruciform bridging beams, extending through both ground floor rooms, and exhibiting tongue stops at the ends further from the junction. The fireplace in the south room features a curved rear wall of header-bond brick. The partition walls in the hallway, to the north and south, are made of reused 17th-century plank and muntin panelling. The north room contains a fireplace beneath a cambered bressumer. A ledged staircase doorway is in the west wall, and a further ledged doorway with HL hinges is located east of the stack. A reused ovolo-moulded two-light window with a diamond central divider is in the north-west corner. A cellar has a heavy chamfered bridging beam. A winder staircase leads to the first floor, where a corridor on the west side is divided from the three main rooms by plank and muntin panelling, each of the rooms similarly divided from their neighbours. The north room retains traces of a winder staircase that previously led to a former attic storey. Cruciform bridging and spine beams are present. The central room has a continuation of the spine beam from the north room, while the south room has a second bridging beam and a continued cruciform spine beam.
