TRENEGLOS
SX 28 NW
7/194 Tregerry Farmhouse
-
II

Farmhouse. Circa late C16 or early C17. Stone rubble and cob rendered and painted
on front. Rag slate roof with gable ends. Stone rubble end stack, the shaft rebuilt
on the left.
Plan: Two room and cross passage plan, heated by end stacks with larger hall kitchen
on lower right hand side and probably parlour on left. Stair turret in projection to
rear of passage. Thin partition between passage and hall kitchen and thicker stone
rubble cross wall between passage and parlour, extending to level of first floor with
thinner partition above. The roof timbers appear to have been replaced (although
only the feet of the principals were accessible at time of inspection) and there are
signs to suggest that the eaves have been raised. C19 service outshut to rear of
hall-kitchen.
Exterior: Two storeys. Ground slopes down gently to right. Entrance slightly to
left of centre with segmental arched hollow chamfered granite frame with ball and
run-out stops flanked by C19 3-light casements. First floor with three 3-light
casements. Stair projection on rear elevation. C19 lean-to outshut extension.
Interior: Cross passage with plastered thin partition possibly covering the remains
of a screen on right and cross wall on left. Hall-kitchen has widely set heavy
chamfered cross beams, the floor joists covered. Granite fireplace has a slight
camber to the hollow chamfered arch with similar moulded jambs, the stops obscured.
The fireplace has been partly blocked. Circa late C19 or C20 chimney-piece in
parlour possibly replaced when the end wall was partly rebuilt. The stair in the
turret has later timber treads covering the original possibly stone treads. The
inside of the turret is semi-circular and the exterior is rectangular. The earlier
stair window opening has been blocked and a later C19 window inserted above,
indicating that the eaves to the stair projection have been raised.
The roof structure was not accessible at the time of inspection (1987).
