Jeremy was instructed to provide built heritage support for the proposal for internal alterations and to replace the existing windows on Warden Manor and The Coach House.
Warden Manor, a charming two-story dwelling dating from the 16th or early 17th century, has a stuccoed frontage with hipped tiled roof. Its fenestration features hung sashes with glazing bars. The building’s original planform remains discernible, further enhancing its historical appeal. Notably, Warden Manor’s rich historical and architectural significance is underscored by its Grade II listing. Adjacent to Warden Manor stands The Coach House, dating to the late 16th or early 17th century, exhibits a charming brick exterior partially rendered.
Warden Manor is a two-story timber-framed dwelling with a hipped roof and plain tiles. The exterior rendered probably in the 18th or 19th century, as was the common practice during that time. The front elevation showcases a combination of 8-over-8 sashes painted in black, along with smaller windows, adding interesting features that contribute to the overall character of the building. Towards the rear, there are timber double doors with internal panelling, as well as a single door. However, these doors do not appear to be original and were likely inserted at a later date. Moving to the side and rear, the fenestration consists of a mix of timber casements and modern windows that lack consistency, detracting from the building’s character. These later modern additions hold little architectural interest. Additionally, there are several blocked internal windows, potentially indicating older features that are no longer in use.
