Farmhouse. C18. Painted brick laid to English bond with granite sills and shallow
arches to front, otherwise painted rubble with some stucco. Steep asbestos slate
roofs with brick chimneys over gable ends, the right hand chimney over large
outbuilt stone breast.
L-shaped plan. Parlour left, hall/kitchen right, wide passage between leading to
central stair hall in hipped roofed wing; axial passage behind parlour to probably
original deep service wing at right angles behind, plus later outshut at rear of
hall/kitchen.
2 storeys. Nearly symmetrical 3-window east front, originally a 5 window front but
remodelled in the circa mid-late C18 by the blocking of the 2nd and 4th 1st floor
windows, partly blocking the ground floor windows and inserting wider windows
between. Central doorway with C18 6-panel door with top panels later glazed.
Panelled jambs and architrave of C18 porch originally probably with triangular
pediment, now simplified. C18 hornless sashes with thick internally ovolo moulded
glazing bars, the wider ground floor ones with 20 panes and 1st floor ones with 12
panes.
The rear stair window is 12-pane sash and those to the service wing are horned 4-
pane sashes.
Interior : Parlour and stair hall have C18 plaster bolection moulded panels and
moulded cornics. The C18 stair is open-well closed-string with Chinoiserie
balustrade. Original 6-panel doors.
Trewince Farmhouse has remarkably survived hardly altered since the C18 and
particularly notable are the C18 windows and the parlour and stair hall features.
