Description
Warden's Farmhouse is a house dating from the 17th century, with extensions added in the late 19th and 20th centuries. The building has a timber frame that is clad with 19th-century red brick in a Flemish bond pattern and is topped with handmade red clay tiles. It has three bays facing southeast and features a central stack. A late 19th-century extension at the rear of the left end creates an L-shape, along with a small lean-to extension beyond it. There is also a 20th-century flat-roofed two-storey extension in the rear right angle, which is clad with vertical tiles. The farmhouse is one storey with attics and includes two 20th-century casement windows, as well as two additional casements in gabled dormers. The entrance features a 20th-century door set within a semi-circular arch. The original building has a half-hipped gambrel roof. Inside, there are chamfered transverse beams with roll and notch stops, face-halved and bladed scarfs, and primary straight bracing. A large wood-burning hearth is located on the left side, while an equivalent hearth on the right side has been blocked.
