Green Sike. Farmhouse With Attached Cottage And Outbuildings

Green Sike is a farmhouse with an attached cottage and outbuildings, originally built under one roof in the mid-18th century. The structure is made of well-coursed watershot rubble and features a stone slate roof. It has two storeys and two first-floor windows. The openings have ashlar surrounds with straight tooling, and there is a central board door with a weather course above it. The windows are sash style with glazing bars. The building has crudely-shaped kneelers, ashlar copings, and large end stacks. At the rear, there is an outshut that formerly contained stairs.

Inside, the farmhouse has good fireplaces in the kitchen on the left and the parlour on the right. The attached cottage, which is slightly lower than the farmhouse, has two first-floor windows and a central projecting pent-roof porch. Inside the cottage, there are steps in the parlour to the right. To the right of the cottage, there is a barn that was roofless at the time of the survey. To the left, there are two byres, each with one doorway on the ground and first floors.
