Plas Warren Hall

Plas Warren Hall is a manor house, now a farmhouse, dating to the late 17th or early 18th century, with elements of an earlier building, and later additions and alterations. It is constructed of red brick on a sandstone plinth, where a timber frame is partly exposed to the rear; the roofs are slate-covered. The house originally followed an H-plan, consisting of a long central hall range with a baffle-entry, flanked by gabled cross-wings. To the right of the left cross-wing is a twin-gabled range to the rear. A mid-19th century addition extends from the rear of the left cross-wing.

The house is two stories high and formerly had gable-lit attics, with floor bands, toothed on the first floor. There are plain corner piers to the cross-wings and a moulded stone eaves cornice, which rises as coped verges to the gables of the cross-wings. The windows are arranged in a 2:3:2 configuration, with segmental-headed 19th-century cross windows; these are blind to the centre on the first floor. Blind roundels are located in the gables of the cross-wings. A central 20th-century gabled red brick porch with a contemporary glazed door now fronts the house. A central red brick ridge stack is present, along with prominent external lateral stacks to the cross-wings. The left cross-wing features a stone quoined stack. The right cross-wing has a prominent stepped external end stack to the rear, featuring a dentilled band at the top of the base and a raised lozenge-shaped pattern below, with three attached and rebated shafts and projecting strips to the sides. Visible timber framing, consisting of rectangular panels with short straight brace, is seen on the left side of the cross-wing to the rear, with a leaded casement on the first floor. A catslide outshut extends from the hall range to the twin-gabled range. Coped verges are present on carved stone kneelers to the rear gable of the right cross-wing, and also to the twin-gabled range. A mid-19th century service range and stables are attached to the rear of the left cross-wing.

Inside, timber-framed cross walls are visible; wall posts are present but the remainder were concealed at the time of resurvey. A wide dog-leg staircase incorporates turned balusters and a moulded handrail. The ridge stack contains an inglenook fireplace with a segmental chamfered wooden lintel to the ground floor on the right, and a 19th-century Jacobean-style overmantel to the left. Remaining elements include some 17th-century panelling and several panelled doors with H- and L-hinges.
