Background History

26 Green End is situated in the Braughing Conservation Area and is a Grade II Listed building, dating back to the C17 or earlier. It has its origins as a Public House called "The Bird in Hand" but was converted to a two bedroom property later. It is joined together with No. 24 Green End which was part of the hostelry but now a separate dwelling. The property had stables alongside the main building which have been converted into a separate dwelling and further down the driveway there is a two-car garage believed to have been built in the 1930s.
