Tregellast Barton Farmhouse

Tregellast Barton Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the mid-17th century. It is constructed of rubble stone with granite dressed window openings on the south side and features a scantle slate roof that has a gabled end to the east and a hipped end to the west, with brick stacks at both ends and some handmade serrated ridge tiles.

At the rear, there is a projecting wing that was converted from a dairy and apple chamber, which is now incorporated into the house. This wing has a stone base with cob upper walls. The farmhouse has a single depth, three-cell plan with a cross passage and a staircase projection at the rear. The dairy wing creates an L-shape at the back of the building.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a regular four-window front. On the ground floor, there are two 2-light hollow chamfered granite mullioned windows with hood moulds and plain label stops, along with casements featuring glazing bars. The entrance door, which is partly glazed and from the 20th century, has granite quoins and a hood mould with plain label stops. To the right on the first floor, there is another similar mullioned window, and four 2-light casements with glazing bars. The window openings have chamfered granite lintels, and hood moulds with drips were added in the 20th century.

On the hipped end to the west, there is an entrance door that may have originally been a window. This door has hollow chamfered jambs, which have been replaced on the lower part, and features a hood mould and label stop. Inside, there is a large fireplace with a chamfered timber lintel that originally spanned the width of the house on the east gable end, along with a cloam oven. The central room has a fireplace with a chamfered granite lintel, and there are chamfered lintels over the window openings. The lintel over the rear door and flanking windows is ovolo moulded with run-out stops, possibly reused.

The central bedroom features a square coved ceiling that projects into the roof space, with ovolo moulded ribs. Throughout the farmhouse, there are 18th-century fielded panelled doors, and 19th-century door surrounds, dado panelling, and a staircase that were taken from Bosahan on the Helford River. Additionally, there is a projecting wing to the north-west that was converted from a store and has a loft, with a stone base and cob upper walls. The farmhouse is two storeys high and asymmetrical, with its two wings and rear wall forming a courtyard.
