Description
Trickers Green Farmhouse is a former farmhouse dating from around 1500, with 16th century and later alterations. It is a one-storey building with attics, featuring a three-cell plan and a cross-entry. The structure is timber-framed and plastered, topped with a thatched roof that is hipped to the right and was formerly half-hipped to the left. There is an axial chimney, with the shaft rebuilt in red brick in the mid-20th century, and a plastered chimney from the 18th or 19th century to the left.
The farmhouse has mid-20th century small-pane casements, with those in the upper storey featuring eyebrows at the eaves. A mid-20th century panelled door is located in a gabled porch at the cross-entry position. The building's structure is typical of a higher quality house from around 1500, but its layout is exceptional; the original open hall was three bays long and at least 9 meters. The left bay was demolished and rebuilt later in the 16th century as a conventional storeyed service cell. The cross-entry features a 4-centred arched doorway, which may also be an alteration.
Inside, one of the open trusses remains, showcasing a cambered tiebeam and massive archbraces of 4-centred form. There is a 6-light hall window with diamond mullions in the upper right bay. The close studding is of good quality, with unusually long windbraces in both arch and tension forms, and the smoke-encrusted roof is of coupled rafter or crownpost type. At the upper end of the building is a storeyed cell with massive floor joists and a diamond-mullioned window; the ground floor room was originally subdivided at this end, which is a rare feature in a medieval house. A wide lintelled open fireplace made of pale buff brick was inserted into the hall in the late 16th century, along with an upper floor.
