Upper Warryfield And Attached Cottage

Upper Warryfield and the attached cottage are a house and cottage located in Walford. The house dates from the early 17th century with later alterations, while the cottage is from the early to mid-19th century. The buildings are constructed from coursed squared stone, timber frame, and rubblestone, all topped with slate roofs. The house, which is to the right, features end stacks, with the stone stack likely added in the mid-17th century, and all flues are made of brick.

The house has a central staircase plan and is two storeys high with a skylit attic and cellar. It has a three-window range of 20th-century two-light casements flanking a single-light window, all set in a timber-framed first floor with narrow upright panels that are three panels high. The stone ground floor includes a door to the centre right with a stone lintel and signs of altered window openings, now featuring two 20th-century two-light casements and a single-light window to the far left, all under 19th-century brick cambered heads. The rear has similar fenestration and framing, with a door leading up steps and a cellar door leading down steps, both under stone Tudor-arched chamfered lintels.

Inside the house, there are chamfered spine beams and a straight-flight staircase, likely from the early 18th century, set between two timber-framed partitions. There is probably an original winder stair leading to the attic. The left room features a large open fireplace with stone jambs, while the brick arch has been modified in the early 19th century. The right room has a stone Tudor-arch fireplace. Some plank doors and hinges on the first floor and in the attic are likely original, and there is an early 19th-century iron grate and chimney in the attic. The roof has double-trenched purlins with massive clasped principals, and the attic has wide floorboards.

The cottage, which has a one-window range, features two-light casements, with the ground floor window being larger and having top-lights under brick camber lintels. There is a door and additional casements at the rear, and the interior includes plank doors.
