II
Former farmhouse and adjoining barn, barn now converted to separate dwellings. Late Medieval origins, remodelled and possibly extended in the circa early C17, several phases of C20 renovation and alteration including alterations being carried out at time of survey (1987). Roughly dressed stone, brought to course, the barn wing brick on stone footings; thatched roof, hipped at ends; two axial stacks with brick shafts to main range, axial stack to rear wing.

Plan: Treaslake is T plan, a main range facing north west with a rear wing at right angles. A front left wing at right angles was formerly a barn and has been converted to two houses. The main range is single depth, four rooms wide, formerly with a through passage. The arrangement, although somewhat obscured by alteration, appears to have been higher end to the left, with the hall stack backing onto the passage, an unheated inner room (possibly later) and a lower end kitchen to the right with a massive smoking chamber projection with a second, added, lower end room. The core of the house is a late medieval open hall, although with limited access to the roofspace at time of survey (1987) the full extent of the hall house was not clear. The rear wing appears to be integral with the main range. Much of the ground floor carpentry has been renewed or removed in the C20, including the lower end passage partition.

Exterior: two storeys. Asymmetrical five window front with a C20 thatched porch to the
former cross passage with a C19 plank front door and a smoking chamber projection to
right of centre with a hipped thatched roof. To the left of the porch, a five-light timber mullioned window with ovolo-moulded mullions and C20 glazing and a four-light similar window above with late C17 or C18 square leaded panes. First floor window left is a two-light C18 casement with square leaded panes, three-light C18 casement with square leaded panes to the first floor of the smoking chamber projection. Other windows are two- and three-light timber casements with glazing bars, C19 or C20.

The barn wing, to the left has one first floor and two ground floor C20 small pane casements. The rear elevation retains a probably C17 three-light first floor mullioned window.

Interior: the room to the left of the front door has an open fireplace with good Beerstone jambs and a chamfered stopped crossbeam. The putative lower end room, to the right of the front door, has an open fireplace and renewed ceiling beams. Framed partition between wing and main range. On the first floor there is a good fireplace to the putative hall stack with chamfered jambs and lintel and rather flat urn stops.

Roof: access limited at time of survey but the main range appears to be of jointed cruck construction throughout and the apex, seen only in the centre of the house, is heavily sooted with the thatch laid on sooted wattle. The wing is also of jointed cruck construction, the apex not smoke-blackened. A substantial house of medieval origins.
