Description
Monks Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house. It dates back to the 17th century, was remodeled in the 18th century, and enlarged in the 19th century. The building is made of red brick, with some remnants of yellow colour-wash, and features a red tile roof and brick chimneys. The layout is almost rectangular, consisting of an L-shaped 17th-century structure with a north-south orientation, along with additions on the east side that create an interlocking L-shape, all under a three-span roof.
The north front has a roof hip over each of the three sections of the building. The westernmost section includes a three-course band that wraps around the west side and rear, a 19th-century gabled porch at the junction with the center range, and an enlarged transomed six-light casement window to the right, which is set under the segmental head of a former two-light window. The center range features a similar window with remnants of an earlier window above it, while the left-hand section has a low three-light casement. On the first floor, there are one, two, and one cross-window casements. A large corniced chimney stack is located in the valley between the west and center ranges, with another chimney in the opposite valley and a side-wall chimney at the right-hand end. There is a modern single-storey addition at this end, which is not of special interest.
At the rear, the easternmost range is set back and has a doorway with a canopy, a two-light casement to the right, and two additional casements above. The center and west sections each have a transomed eight-light casement at ground level and a cross-window above. Inside, the west range features stop-chamfered beams in both ground floor rooms, a large inglenook fireplace in the south room (located at the partition to the center range), an altered cross-corner fireplace in the other room, and a central staircase between timber-framed partitions. The north end of the center range, which is said to be 19th-century infilling, has a beam similar to those found in the center.
