Georgian house, Ham Common
At the north-west corner of the green, by Lock Road.
This appears to be the house named by Pevsner as Ensleigh Lodge: 'a cottage with lower wings with a double-curved top to reach the walls of the cottage and two solid wood fanlights'. It seems on the large side to be called a cottage, but those curved appendages (rather Dutch-looking) puff it up to look larger than it is.
In any case, some very unusual details have survived the centuries. The rather grand windows of the end-wings are embedded within what might be called blank arches, with the fanlight-like feature (mentioned by Pevsner) at the head of the arch. All seven windows of the façade (even the little attic windows) retain wooden hoods, of a sort often seen in early photographs but these days quite scarce.
Stephen Richards has suggested that the proper term for these hoods is 'blind hood'. Though not often seen, they have (for some unknown reason) survived in a number of houses around Ham Common. I have documented an example seen in Hampstead: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2523418

Georgian window detail, Ham Common
In a number of houses close to Ham Common, certain Georgian architectural details have survived which are seldom seen elsewhere. Here, the window is embedded in what could be termed a blank arch, with the head of the arch ornamented (perhaps with plasterwork) to resemble a fanlight.
Notice also the blind-hood above the window frame, and the fender-like iron cage to hold the window box.
For a more general view of the house in question, and further comment, see: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4060125

Mornington Walk, Ham
Typical 1960s housing development, the view hasn't changed since it was built besides the cars.

The Malthouse, Lock Road
At the corner of Lock Road and Ham Street. The cottage has an unusual form of gambrel roof (rising less steeply from the eaves than is usual) and has 'kneelers' at the near gable-end - all of which suggests a certain antiquity.

St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church, Ham Common
An odd looking church. That is because it was formerly a school.
