Hipped roof of shallow pitch, with very prominent eaves on paired brackets; two chimneys visible behind the ridge. The right-hand return wall, three bays extended to four, has round-headed recesses to the windows at ground floor, which are 16-pane sashes, and windows at first floor like those at the front; windows on both floors of the second bay are blind, but all have flat-arched heads with keystones.

HISTORY: built before 1825 as a town house called Trengweath House, which by 1851 was the home of the banker, Robert Tweedy (1806-98). The Tweedy family were one of the partners in the Cornish Bank, the Redruth branch of which opened in 1834 on a site just to the north-west of Trengweath House. Tweedy was manager of this branch between 1834 and 1859; by 1861 he and his family had moved to Truro.
