Description

Green Farmhouse is a house of probable 15th-century origin, with later alterations and additions. It is constructed of rubble, with a pantiled roof and brick gable stacks. Originally an open hall house, it now has an L-shaped layout. The main two-storey section has three windows; these are mostly 2 and 3-light casement windows with leaded lights. One first-floor window, the second from the left, is an unglazed window with square set and chamfered wooden mullions, featuring step stops and a timber lintel. Ground-floor windows have timber lintels, and a 20th-century gabled porch is situated in the third bay from the left, containing a plank door within a wooden frame, with slits on either side. Exposed timbers are present in the wall above the second window from the left and to the right at ground-floor level. A single-storey wing to the left has a 4-light casement window with a timber lintel. The west elevation has a 2-light casement with a timber lintel on the first floor to the left, while all other windows are 20th-century replacements. A two-storey wing is located to the right. The rear elevation includes a central dormer extension, a 3-light casement at ground and first floor right, a door, and two 20th-century windows. On the east side of the rear wing is a door with a timber lintel, a ground-floor 4-light casement, and a first-floor 3-light casement.

Internally, there are chamfered and stopped spine beams, and a fireplace lintel. A blocked fireplace in the west room features a large stone lintel. A door, formerly leading to the hall from the kitchen, has a cut back frame on one side to allow the passage of barrels. The roof at the west end is smoke-blackened, and comprises five collar-beam trusses, with two and four having cambered collars. The central truss has an arch-braced collar. There are also two pairs of butt purlins and, in the two central bays, two tiers of windbraces, and a diagonal ridge. A rear kitchen wing was likely added in the late 17th or early 18th century.
