Warden Hill Farmhouse East Part Warden Hill Farmhouse West Part And Byre Adjoining

Warden Hill Farmhouse consists of two houses and an adjoining byre, dating from the 17th century with some alterations. The building is constructed from sandstone rubble, featuring some quoins and ashlar dressings, with a stone-flagged roof. The right house has been painted. It is two storeys high with a total of four, three, and four bays.

The central house has a modern glazed door on the left with irregular jambs beneath a thin stone lintel. There are two renewed three-light casements on the ground floor, which are set under a full-width dripstring made with throughstones. Above, there is a renewed light on the left and a blocked light on the right, both with similar dripstrings and thin stone sills. The second house on the right includes a modern porch in the second bay and renewed casements in plain stone surrounds, along with some dripstrings. The roof features three low ridge chimneys. The byre has a boarded Dutch door in the second bay and another boarded door at the right end, with thin stone lintels and sills for the windows in the other bays, which are smaller on the upper floor.

The rear elevation displays some small single lights with chamfered stone surrounds, including one that is blocked and another with a vertical iron bar.

Historically, the Weardale chest, an 18th-century muniment chest for the community of the Forest of Weardale, was kept here.
