Ham Green Farmhouse

Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century, and later altered in the mid-20th century, now divided into two dwellings. The building is timber-framed with painted brick infill, replacement walling, and machine-tiled roofs. It has a hall and cross-wing plan; the hall is aligned north-west to south-east with a large external chimney at the north-west end and a brick stack. The cross-wing intersects the hall at the south-east end, consisting of two framed bays, with a truncated brick stack on its south-east side elevation. The farmhouse is two storeys high with an attic. The cross-wing framing includes four panels from sill to wall-plate, short straight braces in the upper corners, collar and tie-beam trusses with two struts to the collar, and raking struts in the lower corners. The external framing of the hall is not visible. The north-east front elevation has a two-storey 20th-century wing projecting from the hall. The hall gable end features a 4-light casement on both floors, a 2-light ground floor casement, and a first-floor rectangular light on the left side, as well as the main entrance with a hipped tiled canopy and a 20th-century door. To the right of the 20th-century wing is a 2-light first-floor casement and a half-glazed 20th-century door, which serves as the main entrance to the other dwelling. The cross-wing gable end has a 20th-century ground-floor window, a 3-light first-floor casement with plank weathering, and an attic light. Inside the hall part, the timber framing is largely intact (except for the rear wall), with stop-chamfered main ceiling beams and a large fireplace. A two-bay dairy wing at the north-west gable end now forms the main part of the other dwelling. It features two large 20th-century bow windows on the ground floor and two 3-light casements and a rectangular light on the first floor of its north-east front elevation. A 19th-century lean-to addition is at the rear, overlapping part of the main building.
