Description
Warren Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with 19th-century additions. It features rendered cob and rubble walls, a gable-ended roof made of corrugated asbestos, and slate on the right-hand end and rear wing. The building has four axial rendered stacks. The layout includes a four-room-and-through-passage plan, with a small service room at the lower end to the left, beyond which is a barn or shippon that may be integral to the farmhouse. The right-hand end room, likely a kitchen, may be a later 17th-century or early 18th-century extension. The axial hall stack backs onto the passage, and there is a mid to late 19th-century L-shaped addition extending to the rear, which may have originally served as a separate cottage.
The exterior is two storeys high with a long, asymmetrical five-window front, where the right-hand end is a 19th-century addition. The central section has 20th-century three-light casements, with a two-light small-paned casement to the right of centre on the first floor and two late 20th-century two-light casements beyond. A 20th-century plank door is located towards the left-hand end of the house, accompanied by a 19th-century two-light dairy window to its left and a shallow rectangular projection to its right. To the right of centre is a 20th-century lean-to with two plank doors. The 19th-century addition features a gabled porch. The barn at the left-hand end has a doorway to the right with a loading hatch above and two slits on the ground floor to its left.
Inside, the central room has a chamfered axial beam. The hall fireplace includes chamfered granite jambs and a roughly chamfered wooden lintel, with a cloam oven on the side. The roof comprises 19th-century insubstantial straight principal rafters.
