GV II

Farmhouse. C17 or earlier remodelled in the C18, substantially remodelled in the early C19 and extended to become small country house in the early-mid C19. Incised stucco over rubble, granite and slate sills. Scantle slate roofs, with original wooden launders carried on paired brackets, hipped except for gable end right with brick chimney over. Brick chimneys: over original rear wall, now axial wall, over original left hand gable end wall, now cross wall, and over side walls of cross wings. Originally probably a 3-room through passage plan with lower end room left of passage, hall right and inner room at far right with right hand end built against a bank. In the C18, the hall and lower end room retained as 2 front reception rooms and hipped stair wing added at rear of passage, possibly with a service room outshut at either side. In the early C19 the house was greatly extended with new parlour/dining room in cross wing left projecting at right angles to front and rear with further parlour in the rear part and butlers pantry between; plus wing for servants quarters between rear parlour and stair wing; kitchen/service wing at rear right of stair hall and an axial passage behind the original hall. Recesses retained and remodelled as niches in the axial wall right of the cross passage may be the window openings of the C17 house which probably faced roughly north. The original inner room far right, survives in a remodelled form as the present kitchen of the house. 2 storeys. Rectangular 1:4:1 bay roughly south front: 4-window front of C18 remodelled front middle, 1 bay slightly recessed also from original house, right, and early C19 projecting hipped parlour wing, left. The central part has wide doorway in original doorway position under 2nd from left 1st floor window. C18 or early C19 6 panel door with elliptical-arched fanlight over. The early C19 parlour bay has ground and 1st floor 3-light bowed window with 24 pane hornless sashes to middle lights and 18-pane ones to sidelights. Most of the other windows are early C19 12- pane hornless sashes but there are 3 2-light Gothic style windows lighting the room at the rear of the parlour range, one to left hand wall (ground floor) and 2 at the rear overlooking a small garden. All with similar details with octagonal panes, but the rear ones have Y-traceried heads with quarterfoil pierced spandrels and pointed stucco hoodmoulds. The stair window is round headed with fanlight headed sash. A particularly interesting feature of the rear is a louvred pantry complete and unaltered. Interior is predominantly early C19 with 6-panel doors, moulded architraves with corner blocks and moulded and enriched plaster ceiling cornices and bands to the reception areas and several chimney-pieces some with hob grates. The geometric stair is open-well, open string and cantilevered with ornate cast iron balustrade and mahogany handrail scolled over the curtail bottom step. High panelled dado is probably later C19. The ceiling of the stair hall with modillioned cornice is C18 as are some fielded panelled doors to the chambers, refurbished in the early C19 with bead mouldings to one side. In the front room to the right of the passage, the original hall of the C17 house, is the original circa early C17 splayed moulded granite fireplace with 4-sided pyramid and ball stops. In the chamber above is a curious wooden gothic-headed chimney piece, probably C19, with diabolo stops. Tremayne House is essentially a good quality early C19 house; the C17 and C18 features which survive explain its slightly unusual plan and give it an even greater interest.
