Description
Old Off Licence, sometimes known as Warren Farm, is a house that dates back to the 15th century or earlier. It features a timber frame with plaster and has a red brick plinth. The roof is covered with red plain tiles and is half hipped to the left, with two gabled dormers on the hall and a hipped crosswing to the right. The building has one storey and attics, with a window arrangement of three windows on the left and one on the right, consisting of two and three light 20th-century casements. To the right, there is a 20th-century plank and muntin door. The house has two red brick chimney stacks, one from the 16th century and the other from the 18th century. Inside, much of the original frame is preserved, featuring halved bracing in the walls, stop-chamfered beams, and a restored Inglenook fireplace.
