SJ 83 NW CHAPEL AND HILL CHORLTON C.P. CHORLTON GREEN

10/16 Green Farmhouse

II

Farmhouse. Medieval origins (C15?), extensively re-modelled c.1600,
altered and re-faced in early C19. Yellowish-brown brick, plain tile
roof with axial ridge stack to left of centre and end stack to right.
Probably originally an open hall of 2 or 3 bays, a first floor and stack
were inserted c.1600; simultaneously, or a little later, a single-bay
addition was made to the right-hand end. In early C19 the eaves were
raised and the whole re-faced in brick. 2 storeys, dentilled eaves
cornice; 3 windows, 3-light late C19 casements with plastered lintels;
entrance through late C19 gabled porch between second and third windows
from left. Mid-.C19 lean-to additions to left and to rear. Interior:
cross-wall in line with entrance porch has exposed square panelling
(wattle and daub infill plastered over); large fireplaces on either
side of the inserted stack; moulded spine and cross-beams to the 2
principal (earlier) ground floor rooms. Upstairs (directly above the
timber framed cross-wall) is what appears to be the remains of a cruck
blade (concealed by wallpaper at the time of re-survey [1984]).
