Description
Trenodden Farmhouse and the farmhouse to the rear, excluding the converted carpenter shop and apple chamber, is a farmhouse and former mine captain's house, now serving as a farmhouse and holiday cottage. It dates from the 17th century and the 1870s. The front of the east range is made of painted rubblestone, with a rendered left-hand gable end, and it features a slate roof with gable ends. The rear 17th-century farmhouse range has a hipped east end and brick stacks on the gable ends. The 1870s east range, which was the mine captain's house, has a double depth plan with a central hall and stair. The 17th-century west range likely originally consisted of three rooms with a cross passage and has been extended on the left-hand gable end to include the carpenter's shop and apple chamber, as well as extended to the rear to form a double depth plan.
The building is two storeys high, with a symmetrical five-window east front on the 1870s range. The ground floor features four 12-pane sash windows with crown glass, set beneath segmental brick arches with keys and granite cills. There is a central rendered porch with a flat roof, a moulded cornice, and a round arched opening with an elongated keystone, along with two round arched openings in the side walls that have coloured glass. A 20th-century door is located within the porch. Above the porch, there are five 12-pane sashes that match those on the ground floor. The rear 17th-century range has a regular five-window front, with a ground floor featuring a double 12-pane sash beneath a timber lintel, a wide 20th-century plank door with an open porch that has a sloping corrugated roof and square timber posts. To the right, there is a double 12-pane sash beneath a timber lintel and a 16-pane sash to the right. Above, there are four double 8-pane sashes. The rear has 19th-century casements and sashes. The interior has not been inspected.
