Description
Green Cottage is a North block, originally one cottage, dating from 1625. It is a two-storey building with an attic, featuring two window bays and a plaintile gabled roof with one hipped dormer. The windows are small, two-light, with some fixed panes. A central six-panelled door has the top two panels cut away and glazed, protected by a tile gabled canopy with a bargeboard.
A one-storey link wing connects the cottage to a block to the south, with a plaintile roof and stone rubble walls, featuring two windows and a door. The south block, originally also a cottage, has stone rubble walls and an outshut on the north side. A ledged door is set into reveals at the west end.
Historically, other cottages were present on the site, two located on the land now occupied by the China Gallery, and at least one adjoining Green Cottage was damaged during the 1939-45 War.
