Description

ST DAY TREGULLOW
SW 74 SW
6/369 Tregullow House
II
Large house. 1805; altered and reduced. Scored stucco (probably on rubble), with
granite dressings, slate roof. Formerly T-plan, formed by a double-pile front
block with rear service wing, but the wing has been demolished, leaving only the
front block: this is also T-shaped, with a 3-bay front range and parallel 5-bay
rear range. Classical style. The 2-storey 3-bay facade is symmmetrical, and has
channelled corner pilasters, a 1st floor band, cornice, and blocking course with a
raised panel in the centre; the centre, breaking forwards slightly, has a large
rectangular porte-cochere, tetrastyle, with square granite Tuscan pillars on a
plinth, plain frieze, cornice, and blocking course, and under this a recessed porch
which has a wide round-headed doorway with wooden architrave and fanlight with
radiating glazing bars (altered double doors). The ground floor has large tripartite
sashed windows with raised architraves matching the style of the porte-cochere
(and glazed with horizontal glazing bars only); the 1st floor has 16-pane sashes
with plain reveals. Roof concealed (presumably hipped), with 2 ridge chimneys
flanking the centre. Attached to the left return wall is a large Victorian
conservatory of 5 bays plus a 3-bay canted end, which has a granite plinth, a
doorway next to the house, 10-pane sashed windows in the other bays (with lay
bars only), coloured margin panes in those at the south end, and an elegant
internal iron frame; the rear range has a large tripartite sashed window on each
floor, with chunky granite architraves. The right-hand return wall has similar
windows to the front range, and a 2-storey canted bay to the rear range, of
granite ashlar at ground floor, with sashed windows which have unusually large
panes, and margin panes. Interior: moulded plaster cornice in entrance hall, with
acanthus leaves and vine frieze; dog-legged stone staircase with iron balusters
and stairwindow with moulded architrave.
