Description

Green Acres is a cottage built in 1848 by F. O'Connor for the National Co-operative Land Company, with alterations made in the 20th century. The cottage features wet dash render on its stone walls, rendered quoins, and a slate roof, with asbestos slate on the left extension. The garden front has three rooms and an extended bay on the left, with a part lean-to and part flat-roofed extension at the rear, which is single storey.

On the garden-facing side, the windows are late 20th century metal casements with rendered surrounds. The slightly projecting center has a 2-light window where the original door was located, with a trefoil ventilator above it. The gable has plain verge rafters on consoles. The original wings on either side feature 2-light windows and a plain plinth. The left extension has a single bay with a glass-roofed lean-to at the front, painted concrete block, three 2-light casement windows, and a half-glazed door on the right return. There are chimneys on the end gables of the original three-unit front and an additional chimney on the left end extension.

Green Acres forms a group with other Chartist cottages and is listed mainly for its historical and sociological significance, originally associated with a 4-acre holding.
