Lower Green Farmhouse

Lower Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse dated 1773, with 20th-century alterations and additions. It is constructed from coursed squared rubble sandstone with ashlar dressings, featuring advanced quoins, coped gables, and ashlar gable stacks without pots.

The building has a double-depth plan with a central entry passage. The south elevation consists of two storeys with attics and three bays, presenting a symmetrical front. The central doorway has a quoined surround and now features a 20th-century door with an integral fanlight, situated below a shallow overlight. On either side of the doorway are stacked former three-light flush-mullioned windows, which are within quoined surrounds and below shallow lintels that form parts of band courses at the window head level. Above the door lintel is a square plaque inscribed with 'D. I. E. 1773', and above that is a glazed oculus set within a raised surround. The original mullions have been replaced by 20th-century painted wooden frames with top-hung lights. The gables have single-light attic windows. The rear elevation features a four-stage single-light stair window within a quoined surround at the center, flanked by stacked former two-light flush-mullioned windows, and there is a quoined rear doorway enclosed by a small lean-to 20th-century glazed porch.

Inside, the farmhouse retains 18th-century two-panel doors set within pegged door frames, a winder stair with diagonally-set intersecting balusters, and stone stairs leading to the cellar.

This farmhouse is a well-preserved example of a late 18th-century vernacular building, maintaining its original plan, form, and much of its fine architectural detail.
