Description
Tregarthan Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century. It has a three-cell lobby-entrance plan and stands one and a half storeys high, with attics. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a hipped thatched roof that features monopitch slated dormers. There is an axial chimney made of red brick. The cottage has 19th and 20th-century casement windows, along with a 20th-century one-storey entrance porch that has a Roman pantiled roof and a boarded door. Some of the framing members have been reused from what is likely a 16th-century house. The cottage is included for its group value.
