The Wardens

The Wardens is a 16th-century hall house that was restored at the end of the 19th century. It features a timber frame with plaster infill on the east side, red brick on the ground floor to the left, and a single bay on the right with a rubble-stone ground floor. The house has a tiled roof with a gable on the left of the east front, which jetties on the first floor. The windows are arranged irregularly, with four 19th-century casements on the first floor and one in the gable, which has wooden mullions but is hidden behind a wattle and daub wall. There are also four 19th-century casements on the ground floor. To the left of the extreme right-hand ground-floor window is a 17th-century boarded door in a frame with moulded shafts. The north gable has been heavily restored, revealing exposed framing with jowls on the wall plates. The south end wall features tile-hanging on the first floor, and there is a steep catslide roof extending from part of the rear of the building. Inside, there is a 16th-century fireplace on the west wall of the former hall, and in the drawing room at the south end of the house, which was formerly a parlour, there are two decorative wall paintings with strap work decoration, possibly of a religious nature, dating from the late 16th to early 17th century.
