Description
Tregildren Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the late 17th century or early 18th century. It is constructed from slate rubble and cob, topped with an asbestos sheet roof featuring gable ends. The chimney stacks on the gable ends are made of rendered brick, while the rear service wing has a stone rubble chimney stack. The layout consists of a two-room and cross passage plan, likely including a hall and parlour heated by gable end stacks, with a kitchen in a probably contemporary wing at the rear right, also heated by an end stack.
The building is two storeys high and has an almost symmetrical three-window front. On the ground floor, there are two 19th-century four-pane sash windows with timber lintels, and the left-hand window has remnants of a slate string above it. Near the centre, there is a 20th-century part-glazed door set within a 19th-century stone rubble porch that has a hipped slate roof. The first floor features three 20th-century two-light casements in their original openings.
To the left of the front range, there is a 19th-century barn that is not of special interest and is not included in the listing. The rear elevation is two storeys high and includes a late 19th-century outshut at the back of the main range. The contemporary rear wing is partly slate hung, with its gable end partly rebuilt, featuring 19th-century sashes and a 20th-century glazed door.
The interior is not accessible, but it is noted to have late 19th-century ceiling beams and a 20th-century grate in the left-hand room, with some partitions remaining. The rear wing contains a 19th-century interior.
