LANNER TRETHELLAN
SW 73 NW
9/224 East Trethellan Farmhouse
and attached outbuildings

II
Farmhouse, now house. Probably late C17 or early C18, but incorporating some
earlier fabric; altered, and currently under restoration. Coursed squared granite
and uncoursed granite rubble, slate roof, brick chimneys. T-plan formed by
single-depth 2-unit main range with rear stair-turret. Two storeys and 5 bays,
symmetrical; unusual masonry consisting of roughly-squared blocks of granite
varying in size and shape but laid to a regular pattern, with some very large
blocks forming the base of the wall to the right of the door; central doorway
and square windows arranged very regularly, all with splayed voussoirs, the
doorway with a 6-panel door which has a long strap hinge on the bottom rail,
and the windows now re-furnished with 16-pane sashes. Rebuilt gable chimneys.
Lean-to kitchen attached at left end; outbuilding continued to the right (see
below). Rear: the stair-turret and the wall to the left are of uncoursed rubble
with large quoins, but the wall to the right matches the masonry of the front
(except for lean-to addition at ground floor); window in stair-turret like those
at the front, doorway to left, small window at 1st floor to right. Interior: large
rectangular fireplace in 1st bay with massive jambs and lintel, and integral bread
oven, stone-flagged floors (current restoration of bead-moulded beams, panelled
doors and partitions, and staircase, copies details of orginals or fragments of
them found on site). The attached outbuildings consist of a short range continued
to the right and a long projecting wing, all 2-storeyed and of uncoursed granite
rubble with quoins and corrugated sheet roofs; the continuation (which was
formerly a mill water-powered through the rear wall) is of 3 bays, symmetrical,
with central doorways on both floors and altered windows; the wing has irregular
openings including 4 doorways (the 3rd a reduced wagon entrance with a long
granite lintel), a window between the 1st and 2nd, and 2 small windows above.
Hipped roof. Lean-to addition at end.
