Warren Farmhouse At Tf 667 219

This is a 17th-century farmhouse that was altered and enlarged around 1860. It is built of carstone rubble with brick dressings and has a pantile roof dating from around 1860. The original three-cell lobby entrance farmhouse was raised from one-and-a-half to two storeys, with later lean-tos at the rear also raised to two storeys under a new roof. A former axial stack has been replaced with a ridge stack in the centre of the roof between the first and second bays, featuring four shafts in a style reminiscent of the Castle Rising estate. A gable end stack rises from a lean-to on the right-hand side. The upper walls are above a brick band, and the ground floor has jambs from rectangular openings. There are three renewed flush two-light casements with segmental arches on the ground floor, and three smaller renewed flush two-light casements on the first floor. A single-storey gabled brick porch with fishscale tiles and wavy bargeboards sits across the lobby entrance, featuring a basket arch and fanlight over the door. The right-hand return has been rebuilt as a single-storey, unremarkable lean-to. The left-hand return retains a 17th-century gable end of galletted carstone rubble with brick dressings, raised to the present eaves level. This return has a flush three-light casement with glazing bars on the ground floor and a renewed flush two-light casement on the first floor, both with segmental heads. A c.1900 brick and pantile lean-to porch extends from a 19th-century addition on the left. The rear facades on the ground floor show two builds of former lean-tos, one of which is a dairy with a low casement containing glazing bars. Other rear window openings are varied and renewed. Internally, the left-hand cell has ogee stopped chamfered spine beams with run-out stops; the off-centre stack is enclosed, and beams to the centre and right cells are also enclosed.
