Description
The Warren is a building that was originally a chapel, constructed in 1785 for M. Waterhouse and converted into a house around 1975. It is made of coursed, horizontally-tooled sandstone and has a slate roof. The structure features an L-shaped plan with a cross-wing that projects to the rear-left, and it is now two storeys tall.
The chapel section has a wallstone plinth and a 20th-century panelled door set within a 19th-century corniced stone porch. This porch has a frieze inscribed with: 'WESLEYAN METHODIST CHAPEL / BUILT BY M. WATERHOUSE ESQ 1785 / JOHN WESLEY PREACHED HERE JULY 1st 1786 / PRESENTED TO CONFERENCE 1802', along with an oculus above. The tall flanking windows are now blind, except for the far fanlights beneath round arches with keystones. The roof is hipped with a truncated ridge stack.
The wing on the left side is set back and features a door to the right of a recessed panel, with centre-pivotted casements on each floor. It has gable copings and a truncated end stack on the left. The left side of the chapel has original tall window openings that have been altered to accommodate 20th-century casements on each floor, with wallstone panels in between.
The interior of the building is not of special interest.
