Green Farmhouse, Poulton

Green Farmhouse is on the east side of the Straight Mile, Poulton, Cheshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.[1]

The house dates from the 18th century and was altered in the middle of the 19th century for the 2nd Marquess of Westminster.[1] In 1889–90 further alterations and additions were made for the 1st Duke of Westminster which were designed by the Chester architect John Douglas.[2] The house is constructed in brown brick; it is symmetrical with three storeys in five bays. Douglas' additions include the rear extension which has diapering in blue bricks and is joined to the original part of the house by a timber-framed link. Douglas also altered the end gables, adding blue-brick diapering and terracotta copings.[1]
