10/135 Warmhill Farmhouse (formerly listed - as Warmhill) 23.8.55 GV II*

Farmhouse, now divided into 2 separate houses. Late C16 or C17 with later additions; core of the house may be late medieval. Solid, roughcast walls. Concrete-tiled roofs. 4 chimneystacks. In right-hand gable a projecting stack with C19 rendered shaft on top. On centre of ridge a granite ashlar stack (heating former hall) with thatch weatherings and tapered top. At left-hand end of ridge, next to the cross-wing, another large, plain granite ashlar stack. On gabled projection to right of front door, at the right-hand corner, a small rendered stack, probably C19. 3-room and through-passage plan with parlour at upper (south) end and former kitchen at lower (north) end. Abutting lower end on north is a cross-wing, projecting forward and back; it seems to have had a purely service function. In front of hall is a deep late C16 or C17 projection with a lean-to stair turret, probably of similar date, on its right-hand side; at rear of through-passage is a porch with chamber over, also of late C16 or C17. On south-east side of cross-wing is a single-storey range, possibly of C17 or C18 date, with a C20 extension on the east. 2 storeys, with single-storeyed additions. Front (west) elevation consists of the cross-wing to left, with 1 window in each storey; a central section, 2 windows wide, with door to through-passage on right; the gabled projection to right of this, with 1 window in each storey; and a further section to the right again, including the stair turret, with no windows. The windows are mostly C19 wood casements. Cross-wing windows are of 3 lights with 8 panes per light, except for the centre light in second-storey window, which has 2 panes. In the centre section the left-hand window in each storey is of 3 lights, the ground-storey window with 4 panes per light and the second-storey window with 8 panes per light. To right of ground storey is the late C16 por C17 front door. This is a plank door with moulded and studded ribs making up 3 rows of 4 panels each; 2 contemporary; wrought-iron strap-hinges having fleurs-de-lis terminals running under the ribs. Old wrought- iron knocker with a pair of hearts. Door-frame is ovolo-moulded with elaborated scroll-stops, the head of the frame enriched with simple dog-tooth carving; lintel of doorway is ovolo-moulded with step-stops. Gabled porch, which seems to be mostly C20. Above it in second storey is a small, single-light wood casement window with 2 panes. The projection to right of door is gabled, having a small C20 window in ground storey and a late C16 or C17 wooden oriel window in second storey. The oriel has a moulded base carried on 3 carved brackets. The upper part has ovolo-moulded mullions, with 3 lights at the front and 1 in each of the canted sides; glazing is C19, with 2 panes per light. The left-hand side of the projecting wing has a 2- light wood casement in ground storey with 2 panes per light; to left of it a C20 glazed door. The stair turret has a 6-pane sash to the south. Rear elevation has mostly early or mid C19 6-paned wood sash windows. The porch at rear of through- passage has oriel window in second storey like that at the front; the ground storey has been enclosed in C20, the posts at the front being replaced by 2 wooden screws from cider presses. Plank door at rear of passage, with wrought-iron strap-hinges; door-frame is ovolo-moulded with raised run-out stops, the head of the frame being carved with dog-tooth ornament like that at the front. Interior: hall and parlour have ceiling-beams with ovolo-mouldings and scroll- stops; between them is a plank-and-muntin screen with similar mouldings and stops on both sides. There are the remains of similar screens on both sides of the through-passage. Most of the hall side of the passage, however, is taken up by the rear of the hall stack; this is of granite ashlar with chamfered plinth and cornice. The door from hall to passage (moved from first floor) is late C16 or C17 with 3 tall moulded panels. On the second storey) the doorway to the room over the east porch, and one other doorway, have ovolo-moulded door-frames with notched scroll-stops. The doorway at the head of the staircase on the west side also has an ovolo-moulded frame, but with tiny vase-stops. In the corridor is a Cl7 plank door with scratch mouldings on the edges of the panels and wrought-iron butter- fly hinges. At the lower end, which is now a separate house, the ground-storey room has a gable fireplace with plain granite jambs and a chamfered wood lintel having scroll-stops; in the back is a C19 oven with iron door. The second-storey room above this has a wood bolection-moulded chimneypiece with moulded cornice of circa 1700; C19 cast-iron hob grate inside. Room has remains of a moulded plaster cornice, probably also of circa 1700. The roof of whole house has been almost entirely rebuilt in C20. 1 truss, possibly medieval and smoke-blackened survives with the hall stack built on to it. The apex is much lower than the present ridge; it has threaded purlins and ridge-piece with a triangular strengthening-piece at the apex. Another early truss survives at the rear of the projection on the west side.
