Micklefield Green House

Micklefield Green House is a large house with origins in the 17th century, substantially rebuilt in the early to mid-18th century, and raised a storey in the early 19th century. Constructed of red brick, with a stock brick upper storey and repairs, it has a shallow hipped slate roof. The house has a half-H shaped plan and three storeys. The central entrance features a 19th-century panelled door, a traceried fanlight, and panelled reveals within a glazed pseudo-Roman Doric porch. To the right of the entrance is a sash window with a moulded frame and a gauged brick flat arch. To the left is a 20-pane sash in an enlarged opening. Horizontal bands divide the storeys. The first floor has three central bays with two glazing bar sashes and a cross casement to the left; a Sun Fire Insurance marker is visible on the right. The second floor has six-pane sashes. The re-entrant walls between the projecting wings have blind openings with gauged brick flat arches. The two-bay wings contain glazing bar sashes, except for a two-light casement on the second floor to the right. Blind ground floor openings are present on the inner bays. The eaves have a deep, moulded soffit. A stack is located behind the ridge to the right of centre. The three-bay right return displays cellar openings, two ground floor sashes, first-floor casements, and an eight-pane sash towards the front. The second floor is largely blind, with a two-light casement towards the rear. An 18th-century red brick stack is incorporated into the stock brick upper storey. The rear elevation contains scattered sashes and casements, with cambered and flat arched heads over most openings, and horizontal bands. A garden door with a moulded architrave, decorative panel, and open pediment is screened by a two-bay timber verandah with a coved roof. A stack with offsets is located to the left. The left return has a 20th-century outshut on the ground floor, a sash window on the first floor, a blind opening on the second floor, and a 19th-century stack with offsets. A one-story slate-roofed outbuilding is attached to the left. Internally, a fireplace features a four-centred arch and a carved overmantel dated 1734.
