Description
Green Farmhouse is a farmhouse that has been converted into a house, likely built in the mid 18th century, though it may include some earlier materials. The structure features mixed random rubble with quoins, and the front is white-washed with a graduated slate roof. It has a double-depth, double-fronted plan, along with a lean-to dairy at the back of the right side and a lean-to peat-house attached to the right gable wall.
The exterior is two storeys high with an attic and has two almost symmetrical windows. There is a stone-slate band over the ground floor, which is interrupted by a low, broad gabled porch that was added later. The porch has a square-headed open doorway offset to the left, with a slate drip-band above it, side benches, and an inner doorway featuring a 19th-century panelled door. Each floor has two nearly square flat-arched sash windows; the left side has 8-paned windows, while the right side has 6-paned windows, all with rubble voussoirs. The roof has gable chimneys and gable copings without kneelers. The left gable wall displays through-stones on two levels, a stone-slate band at eaves level, and a 20th-century porch near the rear corner. The right gable wall has a square attic window that has been blocked with stone slate. The rear of the house features two altered windows in the rear left room, a low stair-window in the centre, a small window below this, and two 4-pane tilting casements at the first floor. There is also a large part-sunk lean-to dairy with a corrugated sheet roof.
Inside, the front right room contains an axial beam and a small 18th-century built-in cupboard with a shouldered fielded panel. The left front room has a fielded plank partition and two lateral beams with small chamfers. The rear right room has a damaged court-cupboard dated 1596, likely moved from its original location. The kitchen in the rear left room retains remnants of a bread oven.
