Description
The Warrens is a house dated by an inscription on a storey post to 1632. It has two storeys, is timber framed and plastered, and features gabled peg tile roofs. On the east side, there is a gabled staircase/porch projection from the late 17th century. The exterior was remodeled in the mid-19th century, which included applied timber framing, a rectangular bay window on the south gable, and a five-sided bay window with an oriel dormer on the west side. The east side has a quarter-circular porch with a peg tile roof and a projecting oriel. An early 17th-century stack with four octagonal shafts is located off the centre ridgeline, along with a 19th-century copy with two shafts on the southwest corner.
Inside, the house reveals a heavy, wide timber frame with long tapering jowls, decorative imposts, and a clasped side purlin roof. The contemporary stack features brick pointed arched fireplaces in the former hall and solar, as well as a heated cupboard with an original door on the flank. The later stair/porch extension contains a fine Jacobean staircase with decorative panels and Ionic balusters, which is alleged to have been moved from Easton Lodge.
