Great Warley Hall

Great Warley Hall is a pair of 'Unit System' houses that date back to the 16th century. The buildings are timber framed, plastered, and weatherboarded, with roofs made of handmade red clay tiles.

The first house has four bays facing south and features two axial stacks. It includes 20th-century single-storey attics, three 20th-century casement windows, and two additional casement windows in gabled dormers. There is also a 20th-century door. The roof is half-hipped at the left end and merges with the adjoining house on the right. Most of the interior framing is concealed, but it includes jowled posts, a clasped purlin roof with arched wind-bracing at the right end, and unjowled posts in the left bay.

The second house, located at the east end, also has four bays but is aligned north-south, projecting at both ends to create an irregular T-plan. It has an internal stack at the junction and an axial stack at the south end, along with a single-storey lean-to extension in the southwest corner. This house is one storey with attics and features one 20th-century casement window on the ground floor and two more in gabled dormers. The elevations were largely obscured by brambles during the survey in February 1985.

Inside, at the north end, there is a chamfered beam with plain joists of horizontal section. Near the south end, there is a chamfered transverse beam with joists plastered to the soffits. Although much of the interior is concealed by modern finishes, the frame appears to be intact. Originally, these houses were occupied by two separate households farming the same land and were later used as cottages.
