Description
Warren Cottage is a cottage built around 1880-1890, originally designed as the Warrener's cottage and later used as a summerhouse on the Revelstoke estate. It is likely the work of George Devey's office. The structure is made of slate rubble with yellow and white brick dressings and limestone window sills, featuring yellow and white brick chimney stacks that rise over the ridge. The hipped slate roof has gablet ends at the ridge.
The cottage has a main range with a south projecting central wing and a set-back parallel wing to the left, all at a single storey. The central wing features a polygonal glazed summerhouse at the front, which includes fixed light windows with glazing bars and weatherboarding below, along with central glazed double doors. The summerhouse has south-facing side lights and a double brick surround. There is a boarded door in the angle to the right of the wing and one window, with two additional windows to the left of the wing, all of which are casements with glazing bars. The lower-roofed parallel wing is set back to the left.
Warren Cottage was built for Edward Baring, known as Lord Revelstoke, and is said to have been used as a summerhouse by him when entertaining King Edward VII. The cottage is situated on a cliff top overlooking the sea, along the nine-mile drive to Membland Hall, which has since been demolished.
