Description

Green Farmhouse is a mid-18th century farmhouse that has been partially raised and altered over time. An outbuilding was reroofed and incorporated into the house in the 19th century, with some 20th-century modifications. The building features limestone on a sandstone plinth, with tooled chamfered quoins on part of the house and herringbone tooling at the right end. It has pantile and slate roofs with brick stacks. Originally designed as a longhouse, it now has a three-cell, hearth-passage plan.

The farmhouse is two storeys high with a two-window façade on the high end and a one-window low end to the right. The low end has a four-panel door beneath a divided overlight, with a three-light, 24-pane horizontal-sliding sash window to the right, and a similar window above. Ground-floor openings have painted tooled wedge lintels, while the high end features 16-pane sashes with painted wedge lintels and fasciated keystones. All windows have painted stone sills, and there is a Yorkshire Insurance firemark in the centre of the first floor. The gables are coped with shaped kneelers, and there are end stacks on the main house and to the right of the low end. The left return has a two-light, 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash beneath a keyed flat arch.

Inside, there is a cut-string, straight staircase with turned column-on-vase balusters, a moulded ramped handrail, and scrolled tread ends. The room to the left of the passage has a moulded bressumer over an altered fireplace, flanked by cupboard doors with two fielded panels on butterfly hinges. The interior also features a moulded spine beam and quarter-round moulded joists, panelled shutters, and six-panel doors. In the attic, there is an upper cruck truss with a moulded tie beam and collar.
