Description from record TQ 73 NE 9:
(TQ 76713580) Goddard's Green (NAT) (1) Goddards Green Farmhouse (formerly listed as Goddard's Green), Angley Road Cranbrook. Grade II*. Cloth hall, now farmhouse. C15 with C16 extensions. Timber-framed on part red brick, part stone plinth. (2) [For full description see list] Goddard's Green has a fine long half-timbered frontage, partly overhanging in the centre, and with two balancing gables at the ends, each with a canted bay rising from ground to gable. There are closelyset uprights on the upper storey, 17th century casement windows, a modern imitation doorway and brick chimneybreasts each with three starshaped stacks. At the back the roof runs down in a tremendous sweep. A stone fireplace inside is dated 1634 and that would be a reasonable date for the gabled additions. (3)
