Description
Little Trewirgie Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century or earlier. It is constructed of shale and cob, topped with a Delabole slate roof, which was probably originally thatched, and features stone and brick chimneys. The building has a U-shaped plan, consisting of a main 17th-century south range, an earlier wing at the back of the lower (west) end, and a single-storey wing at the rear of the upper end.
The south front is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical layout with three windows and a doorway located to the right of centre. The windows are 20th-century replacements set over slate sills. There is a stone gable external stack to the left and a brick chimney on the right gable, both above slate sills. To the left, there is a two-storey outbuilding with a door, followed by a large external stone lateral stack. This stack has scantle roofed projections, likely used for ovens, to the left and front, with a quadrant-shaped oven to the right that partially blocks a ground floor window, which has a single lattice ventilator and a window above. The interior of this section was inspected, but the fireplace is blocked.
