Higher Tregada

Higher Tregada is an early 19th-century farmhouse that may incorporate parts of an earlier building, with later additions and alterations. The structure is built of roughly coursed slate-stone, with the main part rendered, and features a slate roof that is half-hipped to the left. The plan appears to develop from a three-bay house with a central cross-passage, and the part to the right is likely an extension, although it may be contemporary with the rest of the building.

The farmhouse has two storeys and a three-window front on the main part, featuring glazing bar sashes, all of which are 20-paned except for one 16-pane window in the center on the first floor. There is a central four-paned door, with the top panels glazed, set beneath an open trellised porch. To the left, there is an integral end stack with a red brick shaft, and a red brick ridge stack, which may have previously served as an end stack, located at the junction with a wood lintel addition. This addition has a boarded door to the left and a 19th-century casement window on each floor to the right, along with a rubblestone external end stack.

At the rear, there is a two-storey gabled range that projects at right angles to the main range, featuring a rendered cob gable end. The interior was not accessible for inspection during the resurvey in January 1988, but it is likely to be of interest.
