House, now club. c.1800, altered and enlarged. Granite ashlar, slate roof. Formerly square plan, altered by addition to rear. Two storeys and three bays, in classical style, formerly symmetrical, with raised quoins and ground-floor impost band carried round; central round-headed doorway with open-pedimented Tuscan architrave, panelled reveals, recessed door and fanlight with radiating glazing bars; to the left, a shallow round-headed recess (to which the impost band relates) containing a window with flat-arched head and keystone, and altered four- pane sash (ventilator inserted); a formerly similar window to the right replaced by a late C19 canted bay; at first floor, three windows with flat-arched heads and keystones, sashed with upper and lower leaves of four and eight panes respectively. Hipped roof of shallow pitch, with very prominent eaves on paired brackets; two chimneys visible behind the ridge. The right-hand return wall, three bays extended to four, has round-headed recesses to the windows at ground floor, which are 16-pane sashes, and windows at first floor like those at the front; windows on both floors of the second bay are blind, but all have flat-arched heads with keystones.

Interior altered.

HISTORY: built before 1825 as a town house called Trengweath House, which by 1851 was the home of the banker, Robert Tweedy (1806-98). The Tweedy family were one of the partners in the Cornish Bank, the Redruth branch of which opened in 1834 on a site just to the north-west of Trengweath House. Tweedy was manager of this branch between 1834 and 1859; by 1861 he and his family had moved to Truro.
