Description
Green Cottage is a cottage that likely dates from the late 18th century or early 19th century. It is rendered, probably over stone rubble and cob, and features a gable-ended scantle-slate roof, with a gable-ended corrugated-iron roof over the left-hand end. The cottage has end stacks with red-brick top stages.
The plan consists of a two-room central-entrance layout, with the larger principal room on the left, and end stacks that are external to the left and integral to the right. There is a probable former outbuilding adjoining to the left, which slightly projects and is now part of the cottage. The building is two storeys high.
The exterior is nearly symmetrical with a two-window front. It likely features late 19th-century two-light wooden casements in old openings, with all but the first-floor right-hand window having small-paned lights. The doorway is just off-centre to the left and has an early 20th-century half-glazed door with a 20th-century gabled wooden porch. The probable former outbuilding to the left has a ground-floor small-panel wooden casement, probably early 20th-century, to the left and a 20th-century two-leaf boarded door to the right. The interior has not been inspected.
