Forty Green Farmhouse

Forty Green Farmhouse is a house dated 1718, constructed from blue header brick on the rear gable, with a rebuilt 17th-century wing at the south end. The east front features brown header bricks with red dressings, a gauged first-floor band, and a chamfered plinth. It has a hipped old tile roof and brick chimneys. The 1718 block is L-shaped, with the older gabled cross wing forming a U-shape. There is a 20th-century lobby in the rear recess. The house has two storeys and an attic.

The east front has five bays from 1718, with cross windows in the two left bays and three-pane sash windows in the remainder. All windows have gauged brick heads; the ground floor windows are segmental, while the first-floor windows have shaped flat arches. There are three 20th-century dormers with paired leaded casements and moulded pediments, with the central window featuring a segmental pediment. The central entrance has a six-panel door with fine original hinges, a rectangular fanlight, and a moulded architrave frame. The outer doorcase is 20th-century with a shell hood on carved scroll brackets.

The lower gabled wing to the left projects slightly and is made of red and vitreous brick, featuring a first-floor band course and blue diaper patterns in the gables. The east gable has cross casements with segmental heads and a 20th-century paired leaded casement in the attic. There is a 20th-century conservatory to the left and a weatherboard cart-shed to the right of the east front. The west gable of the 1718 block has cross casements on the main floors and staircase.

Inside, the rooms in the northeast corner have mid-18th-century pine panelling with moulded cornices and raised and fielded overmantel panels. In the ground floor room, the panelling can be opened to the left of the fireplace to reveal an arched china cupboard with shaped shelves, painted cherubs in the upper spandrels, and a lower marbled section with a segmental arch. The upper room features a stone fireplace with roll-moulding on the inner edge. The early to mid-18th-century staircase has turned balusters, a moulded handrail and finials, and a panelled string, along with old board and panelled doors.
