Description

CAMELFORD TREMAGENNA
SX 08 SE
4/84 Tremagenna Farmhouse
-
GV II

Farmhouse now private house. Circa late C16 or early C17 extended in early C19.
Stone rubble, partly rendered on left. Rag slate roof with gable ends and rag slate
roof with gable ends to parallel range on rear. Stone rubble end stacks to front
range and brick end stacks to rear range.
Plan: Plan altered and original arrangement is uncertain. Possibly originally of 2
or 3 room with cross or through passage. The right hand room, lit by a 3-light
mullion window, is heated by an end stack which has a cloam oven. The left hand room
has a smaller fireplace in the end wall with an unmoulded granite lintel. The
passage could have been to the right of centre because there is a blocked door at the
back in this position and the front entrance may originally have been opposite.
Either the left hand room was very large and the fireplace altered or this end was
originally divided into 2 rooms; the central room was either an unheated service room
or it may have been the hall, its stack having been removed. In circa early C19 a
further range of 2 room plan with central entrance was added across the rear of the
earlier house; and the house was reorientated and remodelled. The 2 later front
rooms, heated by end stacks, becoming the reception rooms and the rear earlier ground
floor rooms were used as service rooms.
2 storeys. Circa C17 range has an asymmetrical 2 window front with a single storey
C20 stone rubble extension with slate roof and asymmetrical gable end to left of
centre. C20 2-light casement to left and circa late C16 or early C17 3-light mullion
window with hollow chamfered mullions and hood mould to right. C20 slate hung porch.
First floor has 2 C20 2-light casements. Early C19 range has a 3-window front with
central C20 door, two 2-light casements and 3 4-pane sashes above. Granite lintels
to ground floor openings and C20 extension on left.
Interior : Circa C17 range has a large granite fireplace heated by right hand stack
with chamfered lintel and jambs and a cloam oven. Circa C18 granite fireplace heated
by left hand stack with unmoulded lintel. Ceiling beams replaced in C20 in right
