Description

LEWANNICK
SX 28 SE
2/29 Trewanta Hall
GV II
Farmhouse. 1722 (datestone) probably with earlier origins. Stone rubble with
roughly coursed ashlar stone on front elevation. Slate roof with gable ends. Stone
rubble end stacks and rendered shaft to side lateral stack to rear wing.
Plan: Original arrangement uncertain. The front range has a central entrance and
cross passage flanked by two principal rooms which are heated by end stacks. To the
rear of the cross passage is an C18 stair in a stair projection. To rear of the left
hand room, adjoining the stair is a dairy. To the rear of the right hand room is a
one-room plan kitchen wing which is heated by a side lateral stack. It is possible
that the rear wing and right hand room are the remains of an earlier house which was
remodelled in 1722.
Exterior: Two storeys. Symmetrical 5-window front with central C19 glazed porch.
The window openings have dressed stone arches and all bar two of the windows are the
original C18 mullion and transom windows. The replacement C20 windows to left
following original pattern with two C18 windows to right.
Datestone 1722 above entrance. Five C18 windows on first floor.

A 3-light granite mullion window lights the left hand side wall of the dairy and a
large 4-light granite mullion window lights the stair projection on the rear. There
is a C19 outshut across the right hand side. Within this outshut is the entrance to
the kitchen wing which has a hollow chamfered granite square headed frame with curved
diagonal stops.
Interior: C18 2-panel door with raised and fielded panels to left hand room, which
was probably the parlour and has a small fireplace with roughly chamfered granite
surround. The right hand room has a C20 grate. During the restoration of the house
the owners discovered a very large granite unmoulded lintel to this fireplace. The
lintel which extended across the room and extended above first floor level has been
covered over but remains intact. The wing to rear right has a blocked fireplace.
The C18 stair to rear of the cross passage has square newels with small flat bun
finials, stick balusters and a deep moulded and ramped rail.
