Summary

Warren's farmhouse. Farmhouse. Probably late c16-early c17, thoroughly modernised in mid-late c19. Plastered cob on rubble footings, stone stacks with c19 brick tops; slate roof (formerly thatch). Main block facing south has much-altered 3-room-and-through-passage plan with inner room apparently to east (right of front). Rear block behind hall. Projecting gable-end stacks and axial stack backing onto presumed passage - putative rear door blocked and lower passage screen removed. C19 main door and entrance hall with stairs to rear apparently inserted into upper end of hall.2 storeys throughout.4-window front of mainly c19 casements of various size and irregular disposition. Many keep their glazing bars, notably right end, ground floor, 3-light window (with 15 panes each) and left end, ground floor window, also 3 lights (with 12 panes each). Single beebole at left end. Left end stack has oven projection and service room/kitchen has 2 c19 unglazed windows with square-sectioned pine mullions to rear. Service room has exposed c17 crossbeam, chamfered with straight-cut stops, but otherwise only victorian fittings show. Roof is inaccessible but layout suggests survival of early features behind c19 plasterwork. Date of rear block unknown (doe).
