Green Close

Green Close is a house, originally four cottages, dating back to the 17th century and altered around 1916 by C.E. Bateman for H. Peech. The house is constructed of roughly squared, coursed stone with larger quoins, and has stone slate roofs. It consists of a three-room, 1 1/2-storey block along the road, connected by a link to a two-room, 2 1/2-storey block set approximately at a right angle.

The front of the house has a ground floor set down, with window sills at pavement level, and features three two-light mullioned windows with plain chamfer and hoodmoulds. Above these windows, the roof has a hip at the left end, a gabled dormer with a two-light casement, and steps up to the right, where there is a chimney rising from the eaves with a moulded cap and a hipped dormer featuring a 20th-century metal window, its sill below the eaves. The roof then steps down to the right, replicating the dormers on the left end, and terminates with a parapet gable topped with a ridge chimney and moulded cap. A flight of steps leads down to a boarded door, sheltered by a covered hipped lean-to roof supported on timber posts. Beyond this is a curved, timber-framed wall forming part of the link. Another stone gable faces outward, displaying a four-light mullioned window with a king mullion, and above it, an offset two-light mullioned window. A similar window is found in the gable above, all with hoodmoulds. The gable is topped with a parapet and a cross-gablet apex. Two ashlar chimneys with moulded caps rise from the gables on the right return; the first has a single, square-set stalk, and the second features two diamond-set elements. An oven projection is visible below the right-hand chimney.

The building was likely originally two houses, later converted into cottages, and then combined into one house with the addition of the link around 1916.
