Description
Warton Farmhouse is a house that originated in the 17th century but was refronted in the early 18th century and underwent reroofing and an extension to the rear around 1855. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a Welsh slate roof. The building has an L-shaped plan, with later additions in the re-entrant angle and at the rear of the rear range.
The farmhouse has two storeys and consists of five bays. It has a chamfered plinth and raised alternating quoins, with the central bay slightly projecting forward. The entrance features a two-leaf door set in a stone surround, which is adorned with thin pilasters and a semi-circular pediment. The windows are sash style, although the intermediate glazing bars have been removed, and they are set in segmental-arched raised stone surrounds that include imposts and keystones. There are bands at the first floor and eaves levels. The roof is steeply pitched and has overlapping coping, kneelers, and corniced end stacks.
On the left side of the building, there are six scattered double-chamfered windows, four of which were originally two-light mullioned windows but have since been replaced with Yorkshire sashes.
