Description
Warren Farm Cottage is a house dating from around 1600, with alterations made in the 20th century. It is timber framed, weatherboarded, and plastered, with a roof covered in handmade red clay tiles. The cottage has three bays facing southwest, featuring a central stack that creates a lobby entrance. At the center rear, there is a stair tower, and to the rear of the left bay, there is a late 17th-century service wing, which has two external stacks to its left. The main house has two storeys, a cellar, and attics, while the service wing is one storey with attics. The front has a three-window range of 20th-century casements, along with two additional casements in gabled dormers. There is a 20th-century half-glazed door with a gabled hood. The structure includes jowled posts and chamfered axial beams with lamb's tongue stops. Inside, there is an open well stair leading from the ground floor to the attic, featuring a moulded handrail, a square newel, and serpentine splat balusters, most of which are original. The roof has clasped purlins, and there are two original doors.
