Trannack House

Trannack House is a former count house, now a private residence, dating from the early to mid-19th century. The building features a front made of coursed dressed granite, while the rest is constructed from rubble with dressed granite quoins, jambstones, sills, and lintels. It has a half-hipped roof covered with grouted scantle slate and brick chimneys on each side wall. The gutters are made of cast iron and have an ogee profile.

The house has a double-depth plan with two equal rooms at the front, a passage in between, a staircase at the rear left of the passage, and a pantry on the far left. Behind the right-hand room is a back kitchen. When it functioned as a count house, it is likely that part or all of the first floor was used as offices, possibly including a large board room at the front. The central first-floor window was originally taller, and it is possible that there was a bay window.

The building is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front facing southeast. The central doorway features a wide door with three bottom panels, a wide central panel, and two top panels that have been later glazed. The window above the doorway is blocked, and the 12-pane horned sash fitted there is likely from the late 19th century, after the house ceased to function as a count house. The right-hand windows are original 16-pane hornless sashes, while the left-hand windows are horned copies, all set in their original openings. At the rear, original 16-pane sashes are present except for a 16-pane horizontal sash with zinc gauze in the larder. The rear left first-floor room has an original 16-pane hornless sash in the left wall, and a window opening was cut in the 20th century above the larder window. A small rear porch was added in the 20th century. The interior has not been inspected. Count houses were often built to high standards and can resemble the better houses of their time; this one is a notable example.
