2/34 Fords Green (formerly - listed as Cherrytree 29/7/55 Farmhouse, Fords Green) -- II*
House, C16 in two stages. Two blocks at right angles, placed corner-to-corner with a narrow link. The long range is of early C16, and the eastern block c.1550. 2 storeys, the eastern block with attics. Timber-framed and plastered. Plaintiled roofs, the lower range hipped. A C16 end chimney and an axial chimney with rebuilt C19 shaft, both of red brick. The east block has a late C18 facade on the north side: 2 storeys, 3 windows. Small-pane sashes of original form but renewed in mid C20. Entrance doorway: 6-panelled door with fielded panels, semi-circular fanlight with intersecting bars; open pediment with console brackets.
