window in the end wall beside the fireplace. Another C17 single light window with
holes for 2 stanchions survives in the rear wall of the hall, now obscured by
probably C18 rubble lean-to behind the hall, possibly a wash house. Small fireplace
in right hand wall and evidence above of the original very steep roof pitch. (There
is no direct access to the lean-to from the hall). The front doorway is in situ, the
rear doorway blocked an later doorway cut towards the right. Cobbled courtyard at

light head of former hall window, right, and 3-light head and jambs of wider parlour

end. Slightly hollow chamfers. The first floor openings, irregularly disposed, are
in altered or resited openings.
Interior The 3 splayed-on-plan granite fireplaces have straight chamfers and
diagonal stops. The bread ovens have steep shouldered arched outer openings and
smaller inner frames for the oven doorways. Corbelled domed rubble interiors. 2
cyma-moulded oak cross beams survive near the hall fireplace.
Trevoole is an interesting 2 room plan C17 house, the hall fully developed as a
kitchen and the parlour serving the function of both a hall and parlour and with an
integral window bay beside the fireplace.
