Description


SW 97 NE ST ENDELLION
4/19 Trevathan Farmhouse
GV II
Farmhouse. Circa late C16 or early C17, extended in early C19 and earlier range
remodelled in circa 1960s. Earlier range of stone rubble with slate roof with gable
ends and projecting stone rubble stack on lower, left-hand gable end with stone
rubble and brick axial hall stack at higher end of hall, positioned asymmetrically in
gable end. Inner room partially rebuilt with lower roof. Front C19 range of roughly
dressed stone with dressed quoins and cambered arches to openings with keystones.
Slate roof with half-hipped ends with brick end stacks.
Plan considerably altered. The earlier range has been considerably remodelled but
appears to have been a 3-room plan with cross or through passage with lower end
heated by gable end stack and hall heated by axial stack at higher end of hall. This
stack may have originally served the former higher end room which was rebuilt in
early C19. The early C19 range was added on the front of the hall and inner room and
comprises a central passage flanked by 2 reception rooms with stair in rear of
passage flanked by corridor which leads into earlier range.
2 storeys raised on basement. Symmetrical 3-window front to early C19 range with
dressed stone cambered arches with keystones. Central entrance with 6 stone steps
with wrought iron railings leading to round arched opening with keystone. C19 16-
pane hornless sash to left and 20-pane sash to right. First floor with 3 C19 16-pane
hornless sashes. Earlier rear range with openings altered with C20 fenestration.
Interior C19 range to front almost complete with decorated plaster cornices and room
on right with delicate floral trail of roses. C19 chimney pieces. C19 open-well
stair with ramped rail, stick balusters and square newels. Segmental arches to
landing above with incised pilasters. Slate slabs to dairy in basement:
Earlier range with large hall fireplace with heavy deep chamfered granite lintel with
straight cut stops and chamfered granite jambs with pyramid stops; spit in situ.
Roughly cut ceiling beams. Roof timbers replaced; the collars, according to the
owner, had dovetailed notched lapped, joints. (Roof timbers not inspected).
C17 cupboard removed from left-hand side of fireplace on lower gable end. This
fireplace also had C17 decorated firebricks which are now in one of the outbuildings.
A 3-light Catacleuse stone window has been resited in the piggery to the south of the
farmhouse. The window probably originally lighting the rear wall of a hall has been
reduced to 2 lights with pointed chamfered heads and jambs.
Illustrated in the notes of The History of Port Isaac and Port Quin, Dr Frederick
Trevan, 1833-34.
