Description

SOUTH ELMHAM, ST. MICHAEL ST. MICHAEL'S GREEN TM 38 SW 4/82 St. Michael's House - II Former farmstead, named on the O.S. map as Green Farm, consisting of 2 separate ranges at right-angles to each other with a later linking section. Early C16. 2 storeys. Timber-framed, with roughcast render and black glazed pantiles. The east-west range has one end and one internal chimney-stack; 2- light and 3-light casement windows with a single horizontal bar, transomes on the ground floor, pintle hinges to 2 on the upper floor, the remainder C20 replacements; a C20 gabled porch extension in matching materials. Frame in 5 bays, including a bay for the internal chimney-stack; basic 3-cell plan. Plain studding, reversed braces in the side walls, long arched braces to the heavily cambered tie-beams; edge-halved and bladed scarf joints in the wallplates. Blocked original windows with diamond mullions. A fine screen with long narrow panels and chamfered stiles was moved from its original position in the early C19 when one bay was adapted for a hallway and stair. A wide chamfer and cut-off stops to the main beam continued down the main posts, in the central room. The end chimney stack was added to the single service room. Roof inaccessible. The north-south range has been extensively restored from a semi-derelict state. An end chimney-stack on the south, set within the frame; 2-light and 4-light C20 casement windows in traditional style, and one replaced 4-light diamond-mullioned window; C20 plank door and double doors; weatherboarded gable-end on north. Frame in 3 wide bays: surviving main beams are chamfered with moulded heads to the main posts, joists plain, closely-set, flat; tension braces in end and partition walls, cranked reversed. braces in side walls; remains of several diamond-mullioned windows. The roof has been renewed, but one tie-beam has mortices for queen posts. An original ladder stair has been reset. This range may well have a medieval core. Listing NGR: TM3420283616
