The Rating and Valuation Act 1925 ordered every piece of land and building in the country to be assessed to determine the rates to be paid on it. The valuer visiting Green Farm [DV1/H28/56] noted that the owner and occupier was E.C.Gurney, who also owned Wood Farm, and that the farm comprised 173 acres of "wet land".

The valuer described the house as brick, roughcast and thatch and noted that it comprised two reception rooms, a kitchen, pantry and dairy with four bedrooms and a box room above. The farm buildings were as follows:
