Description

SW 83 SW MYLOR TREGEW ROAD, (east side),
Flushing
6/298 Tregew Farmhouse

GV II

Farmhouse. Late C18. Shale rubble with dressed granite quoins, slate sills and flat
brick arches. Hipped slurried scantle slate roof with brick chimneys over side walls
and cast iron ogee eaves gutters.
Plan of slightly deeper parlour, left, wide entrance hall leading to central rear
stair with small unheated room on left of doorway and large kitchen/living room right
with pantry in left-hand rear corner, large partly blocked hearth and with doorway
beside hearth (front) leading to later single-storey dairy on right with pantry
behind and pumphouse over well in front. Ground slopes down from front and to right.
2 storeys. Irregular 3-window roughly south front with 6-pane horned sashes.
Central doorway with C20 top-glazed door. Windows irregularly disposed: one at some
distance to left of doorway and 2 on right, plus small C20 window inserted to
cloakroom to left of doorway and first floor windows closer grouped. Pumphouse
outshut on right projects slightly.
Interior is virtually complete and unaltered since built: T stair, 2-panel or ledged
doors, chamfered beams in kitchen, some panelled window jambs, 4 pan copper creamer,
with brass handles, in dairy, and reused circa late C17 leaded casement as overlight
to doorway of rear right-hand small first floor chamber/store (possibly from earlier
house on the same site, but there is a small part of an earlier house, No 20, across
the road).
A most interesting very complete farmhouse with an unusual plan.
