(Formerly listed as SOUTH GREEN Colbys Farmhouse)

II

Farmhouse. Early C16. Timber framed and plastered except for the gables which are weatherboarded. Pantiled roof. Two storeys. Three-cell form. Various mid C20 casement windows. One original window at front and three at rear, all with heavy diamond mullions. Mid C20 half-glazed door into service end. Part of a four-centre arched doorway into the parlour, apparently in situ: this is an unusual position for a C16 doorway and may indicate dual occupancy of the house.

Internal stack, the shaft rebuilt. An intact timber frame of good quality with both curved and reverse-curved bracing. Closely-spaced plain joists in hall and service end. The cross-partition between these two rooms has been removed but against the cross-passage is a plank and muntin screen, largely intact. One-bay parlour. There is evidence to suggest the stack is a later insertion, replacing a stud and plaster flue. Newel stair, contemporary with stack. Queen-post roof. The framing of the end wall over the parlour suggests the roof was originally hipped at this end.
