ST EWE SW 94 NE 1/35 Trevithick Farmhouse 7.1.52 II

Farmhouse. Circa C16, with alterations and additions of circa early C19; later C19 alterations and C20 alterations and additions. Slatestone rubble with granite dressings; partly rendered. Hipped slurried scantle slate roof with ridge tiles. End stack to right with rendered shaft; axial stack to right with octagonal brick shaft of early C19; axial stack to left with granite ashlar shaft with weathered string and embattled top, probably rebuilt mid C19. Plan: Originally a 3-room and through passage plan. The lower end room is to right, heated from an end stack. The hall and inner room are to left, heated from back to back fireplaces from the granite ashlar axial stack. Circa early C19, an addition was made to rear left, behind the inner room; this is of single storey with loft, the loft with access from an external stair at the left end; the room behind the inner room became the kitchen. At about the same time, a straight stair was inserted in the through passage and the rear doorway was blocked; also at about the same time the lower end room was partitioned as two rooms, and the second axial stack was built to heat the new room. Circa later C19, a small single storey addition, unheated, was made at the front of the inner room, re-using earlier materials; in C20, a further addition was made to rear of the hall and the lower end. Exterior: 2 storeys, asymmetrical 3-window front. Ground floor has to left a 3-light chamfered granite window, the mullions rebuilt, with C20 casements and hood mould; two 3-light granite windows lighting the hall, the one to left with chamfered granite mullions and C19 2-pane casements, the one to right with 8-pane C19 casements. The passage has a 4-centred arched hollow-chamfered granite doorway with ball stops and recessed spandrels with balls and hood mould; C19 panelled and glazed double doors. There is no window to the lower end room. At first floor there are three 2-light chamfered granite windows, the stoolings remaining for mullions, all with C19 20-pane sashes inserted. To left there is a small single storey addition to front, with flat roof and moulded granite coping with a window opening at the front. The right end is blind, with long and short granite quoins. The left end has C20 plank door: at first floor thre is a 3-light chamfered granite window, with stoolings for mullions and 3- pane C20 casements. There is a straight joint in the masonry to left, to the outshut, with external stone stair leading to the loft door, which has a C20 window inserted in the doorway; the top step of the stair is a granite cider pressing bowl. There is a C20 2-light window at ground floor. Range of single storey outhouses attached to left with C20 doors and windows; in four builds, with scantle slate roofs with ridge tiles and gable ends, some with corrugated iron roof and one with gable end stack with brick shaft. At the rear, there is a C20 2-storey addition behind the hall, rendered and flat-roofed, with C20 casements. Interior: The inner room has roughly hewn ceiling beams; fireplace rebuilt with re- sited cloam oven with cast iron door. The hall is ceiled, with fireplace built in C19; the main window is hollow-chamfered inside, with C19 panelled shutters. At the rear of the passage, there is a small blocked window; the granite doorway is said to survive, of the same design as the front doorway. At the rear of the lower end room there is a C20 French window, leading into the C20 addition. At first floor, the chamber over the inner room has a granite fireplace surviving, partly blocked, with ball stops visible and ball stops at lintel level; or similar design to the front doorway to the passage. There is a recess in the front wall in this room which does not appear ever to have been a window. Roof space not accessible.
