Warne's kitchen, Eastontown. The house was heightened and the inner space contracted instead of enlarged, the two ground floor rooms being reduced to one, in the early 17th century. It may have been used as a kitchen. The original doorway and window openings with granite dressings are preserved. There are many similarities with Burrow Farm in Plymstock. Stylistically, the doorways are ascribable to the period 1500-1600. There is a wide recess in the west wall of the hall which may have housed a builtin cupboard or dresser. Retains a primitive porch and wide circular staircase in a curious turret to which the underside of some stone steps forms a kind of external corbelling.
