Micklefield Green Farmhouse And Barn

Micklefield Green Farmhouse and Barn is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with possible earlier elements. It was extended around 1800 and has been altered in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed of brick, possibly with a timber frame, and is whitewashed with a steeply pitched tiled roof. It has two storeys and a seven-bay main range, with two additional bays added to the left.

The central entrance features a cambered head and is set within a 19th-century gabled porch that has an arched entranceway. The openings have been altered, with a canted bay window on the left side of the ground floor and a French door on the right, along with two-light and one-light casements. On the first floor, there are blind panels in the centre and to the right, with two-light casements, most of which have cambered heads. A moulded brick band runs below the projecting eaves course.

To the left, there is a two-bay addition with casements and an entrance, featuring a pilaster strip. The right gable end has a ground floor sash window with a cambered head. At the rear, there are scattered casements and three 19th-century stacks on the rear pitch, along with a lean-to outshut with pantiles and an entrance.

To the left end of the farmhouse is a weatherboarded link to the barn, all under a continuous roof, which has double doors and a window at the front. The barn extends back at right angles and has a lean-to addition on the front gable end. It dates from the 17th century and is timber-framed, weatherboarded, and red brick cased, consisting of six or seven bays. The inner elevation is brick with 18th-century openings, some of which are blocked, and a large 19th-century cart entrance with a gauged brick arched head.

The interior of the house has not been inspected, but the barn features curved braces from jowled posts to cambered tie beams, angled struts clasping purlins, braces in the walling, and windbraces. A 20th-century addition to the barn is not of special interest.
