Trevadlock Manor And Garden Walls To North

Trevadlock Manor and Garden Walls to North, Lewannick

A house, now converted into holiday flats, probably dating from the 17th century or earlier. The building is constructed of stone rubble with ashlar stone elevation to the road-facing side. The roof is slate with hipped and gable ends, and retains some early crested ridge tiles. The chimneys are of stone rubble, with end, axial and lateral stacks.

The original plan is uncertain due to lack of internal access, but the house follows an overall L-shaped layout. The front was possibly originally oriented to the south (now the rear), with a two-room plan separated by a cross or through passage, and possibly a two-storey porch on the front. The left-hand room (west) was heated by an end stack, while the right-hand room (east) was heated by a front lateral stack. Straight joints on the front and rear elevations suggest that the two rooms to the right (east) were later extensions, heated by an axial stack. Around the late 17th century, the house may have been extended to the rear right with a wing of one room and passage plan. The north (rear) elevation of the main range appears to have been rebuilt in ashlar stone in the early 18th century. In the 19th century, the house was reoriented when the east elevation became the principal front. The entrance to the putative two-storey porch has been blocked, and a 19th-century mounting block stands directly in front of it. The building was converted into holiday flats in the 20th century.

The east elevation, now the principal front, is asymmetrical with four windows. It features a 20th-century porch near the centre, flanked by two 16-pane sashes with dressed stone arches. The first floor has three 16-pane sashes and a 20th-century one-light window to the left of centre. A straight joint to the left of the porch marks an earlier division.

The south elevation, possibly the original front, has a gabled two-storey projection to the left of centre, with the mounting block positioned directly in front and a late 19th or 20th-century two-light casement on the first floor. A stair projection adjoins to the right, lit by a 19th-century three-light casement window with a lateral stack incorporated into the projection on the left. A small 20th-century extension extends to the left.

The north elevation, facing the road, has an almost symmetrical five-window front and was refronted in ashlar stone, probably in the 18th century, with dressed stone voussoirs and key blocks above the ground floor openings. Four windows have been replaced with 12-pane sashes; the small fifth window is a 19th-century two-light casement. The first floor has five 20th-century two-light casements in earlier openings. To the left, the wing projecting forward (forming the rear elevation of the east front) retains two 17th-century two-light granite mullion windows on the ground floor and a 17th-century mullion and transom window on the first floor. A 17th-century mullion window in the gable end lights the attic.

A stone rubble garden wall encloses the garden to the north, comprising a low wall near the roadside and a higher ramped wall extending from the north-west corner of the house.

The interior is not accessible. An internal inspection would be necessary to clarify the chronological development of the plan and may reveal several interesting features.
