Description
The Green is a mid-19th century house that includes an integral blacksmith's workshop, which has been converted into garages with bedrooms above, while the original workshop and forge remain at the rear. The building features joint-lined stucco on stone rubble, with some brick and cob, and has a slate roof with gable ends, a moulded timber cornice, lion's head guttering, and a shaped bargeboard at the right gable end. There are brick stacks at each end of the house.
The layout consists of a principal room on each side of a central entrance passage, with a narrow store-room at the rear of the right parlour and a staircase along the rear wall of the former kitchen on the left. Late 19th and early 20th century outshuts with slate roofs are located on either side of the rear entrance hall passage doorway. The blacksmith's workshop, attached to the left end of the dwelling, has a continuous slate roof and cornice, and has been converted to include two garages and a storage loft that has been turned into bedrooms with access from the main house.
The exterior is two storeys high with a five-window range and a symmetrical three-bay design featuring shallow quoin pilasters. All windows are hornless four-paned sashes. The entrance has a pilastered doorcase with a moulded entablature, panelled reveals, and a three-panelled door with an overlight. Inside, the 19th century joinery is intact, including a patterned tiled floor in the entrance hall, a parlour with a plain moulded plaster cornice, and a kitchen that retains integral cupboards and a window bench. The straight run staircase has turned balusters, and the king-post roof trusses are visible. The forge still contains blacksmith's bellows, a brick stack, and forge fittings.
