Bent Farmhouse is a 17th-century house located on Bent Lane in Warburton, a village in the Metropolitan Borough of Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The house was built in 1600 by Robert Drinkwater.[1] It was a timber-framed house which was restored in 1880 by the Chester architect John Douglas for Rowland Egerton-Warburton of Arley Hall, who added "Douglas-like features and character".[2] It stands opposite the church of St Werburgh, which was built in 1883–85.[3]
On 12 July 1985, it was designated a Grade II listed building.[1]
Architecture
The house is built on a stone plinth. It has a brick front with terracotta dressings and much timber framing elsewhere. Douglas' restoration is described as being "heavy" and "interesting".[1]
