Description
Green Cottage is a house dating from the early to mid-18th century, with late 19th-century additions and late 20th-century remodelling. It is constructed of uncoursed stone rubble, featuring a rendered first floor and gable ends, possibly over cob. The roof is gable-ended and covered with asbestos slate, with a lower pitched catslide over an outshut at the rear. The building has square stone stacks with weatherings and caps.
The house has a two-room plan facing south, with a larger principal room on the left that has an external end stack, and a smaller room on the right with an integral end stack. There is a central entrance leading to a staircase that rises from the entrance. There is possibly a later outshut at the rear and probably another outshut to the right, with an integral corner stack to the rear outshut. The building is two storeys high, with one-storey additions.
The exterior features a symmetrical front with three windows on the first floor and two on the ground floor, which are late 19th-century or early 20th-century two- and three-light wooden casements, the ground floor windows having small panes. The central door is a boarded door from the 19th century, framed in wood, and there is a gable porch. To the right is a one-storey lean-to outshut, and to the left is a boarded door with a beaded pegged frame.
Inside, there are 18th-century doors with four raised and fielded panels. In the left-hand ground-floor room, there is the back of a former L-shaped bench, and in the right-hand ground-floor room, there is an 18th-century cupboard with raised and fielded panels. The stairs have been altered, and there is a cupboard under the stairs with an 18th-century boarded door featuring strap hinges in the outshut at the rear. The first floor and roof space have not been inspected.
