Description
Ditsworthy Warren House is a house originally built for the keeper of a rabbit warren, dating from the late 18th century or early to mid-19th century, with a later 19th-century addition. The building features granite rubble walls, some of which are rendered, and has a gable-ended roof covered with felt sheeting. There are three stacks: one made of rendered brick at the right gable end, a rendered rubble axial stack, and another at the left gable end.
The original plan consists of two rooms with a central entrance passage that includes stairs in a rear projection. The late 19th-century addition, located at the right-hand end, is a one-room plan. The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front. The original section on the left has a symmetrical arrangement of three windows and a central open-fronted porch, which has a 20th-century plank door behind it. All windows are shuttered. There is a straight joint between the two sections of the building. At the right-hand end, there are fragmentary remains of a shippon. The rear elevation features a shallow leanto stair projection at the centre of the original section. The interior was inaccessible at the time of the survey.
