Tregate Castle Farmhouse

Tregate Castle Farmhouse is a farmhouse that dates from the 16th or 17th century, with possible earlier origins. It has 18th-century additions and has been altered in the 20th century. The building features rendered rubble, which may include part of a timber frame, and has slate roofs. The plan is irregular, consisting of two parallel ranges with a north lean-to extension that creates a catslide roof and encloses two lateral stacks, with an additional lateral stack to the south.

The entrance is located toward the center of the east elevation, with another entrance in the lean-to also on the east side. The farmhouse is two storeys high, with attics and cellars. The entrance elevation has two gabled ends of the parallel ranges and a lean-to on the right. To the left, there is a stepped buttress or a mutilated stack. The fenestration is irregular, with a general pattern of 1:2:1 windows, primarily late 19th or 20th-century cross casements. The lean-to features 2-light casements, and the first floor of the left gable end also has 2-light casements. There is a gabled porch with a ledged door, flanked by another ledged door to the right, and steps leading down to a basement door on the left.

The house is believed to contain a late 17th-century staircase. It is situated near the site of the motte of an early castle, where evidence of a wooden keep has recently been discovered. The farmhouse is well-positioned on an elevated area that overlooks the river and roadways. Documentary evidence suggests that there was once a chapel dedicated to St Thomas at Tregate.
