Description
Horseman's Green Farmhouse is a 17th-century house with an approximate L-plan, featuring a 2-storey main range and a 2½-storey cross wing. It is constructed of hand-moulded brick, topped with a slate roof and brick stacks. The windows are wood-framed casements. The front of the house faces southeast and includes the main range, which has a dentil eaves course, and the cross wing on the right. The entrance is located on the right side of the main range, featuring a wooden porch with latticework and a panel door with a small-pane overlight. To the left of the entrance is a 3-light window. The upper storey has a similar 3-light window and a 1-light window above the entrance. The cross wing contains 3-light segmental-headed windows on each storey.
On the northeast side wall of the cross wing, there is an external brick stack set back from the left end, with a rebuilt upper section. In front of this stack is a 1-storey projection that includes a door and window. To the right of this projection is a second entrance, which is a segmental-headed doorway with a later door, situated within a shallow open lean-to porch that encloses a 2-light window on the right, above which is another 2-light window. Further to the right is a full-height joint indicating a rear extension of the wing, beyond which are an inserted 2-light window and a 3-light window, along with a 2-light window in the upper storey.
The rear gable end of the cross wing features two 2-light attic windows above a lean-to with a blocked doorway in its left side wall. This wall is raised and has coping where it faces the farmyard. The opposite side wall of the wing includes an outshut with inserted French doors, a casement window to the right, and a 2-light window in the upper storey. The rear wall of the main range has 3-light windows in each storey.
Inside, the main range incorporates a single aisle truss with complex moulded posts and an arched brace, above which are a cusped crown post (a modern reinstatement) and raking struts. At the opposite end, close-studding to the dais end truss is exposed. The main range also features a 19th-century king-post truss and cusped windbraces, which have been renewed in the 19th century. In the north wing, there is a single arched-brace truss that is partly obscured by a partition.
