Warmhill Cottage. Probably 17C, with later addition to right. Roughcast walls: stone on ground storey with cob above. Thatched roof, half-hipped at right-hand end. Brick chimneyshaft on left-hand gable. Rendered shaft on ridge to right, on the original gable-wall; this stack has a projection (now inside the house) and its upper part, below the ridge, is of cob. 2-room plan with added room to right. 2 storeys. 2-window front, all windows placed at right-hand end. The left-hand window in each storey is a 2-light wood casement without glazing-bars. The right-hand window in each storey is a 2-light wood casement with small panes, 6 panes in ground storey, 4 above. 20C door to left. Interior: the middle ground-storey room has chamfered upper-floor beam with a large stop that appears to be either a cross-stop or a rounded step-stop. In the right-hand end wall (former gable) is said to be a large fireplace (at present largely blocked) with a heavy wooden lintel. In the left-hand room is a gable-fireplace having a re-used chamfered wood lintel with step-stops. In second storey, between the 2 older rooms, a stud wall infilled with cob. Roof-trusses (upper part not accessible) have plain feet.
