Barns And Raised Pavement Immediately West Of Tregethas Farmhouse

Two adjoining barns, a cartshed, and an engine house, along with a raised pavement, are located immediately west of Tregethas Farmhouse. The older barn has a datestone from 1817 with the initials J E (John Ellis) above its doorway, while the other barn dates from the early to mid-19th century. The buildings are constructed of coursed dressed granite and granite rubble with granite dressings, and some sections feature cob. The roofs consist of a grouted scantle slate roof with gable ends on the later barn, and a steeper roof covered in corrugated asbestos on the older barn, which is hipped at the right-hand end.

The layout includes two long rectangular barns that are cranked where they join, with a lean-to cartshed and engine house at the rear left, and another lean-to at the right-hand end. The exterior is two stories high, with the southeast front of the left-hand barn featuring a central doorway, an additional doorway on the left, and ventilator windows on the right, along with pigeon holes above. The right-hand barn has a symmetrical front with two windows and a central doorway, a doorway with a window above on the left, a blocked doorway on the far left where the barns connect, and three tiers of pigeon holes between the first-floor doorway and the window on its left. The rear includes a rubble ramp leading up between the engine house and an open-fronted carthouse to a loading and winnowing doorway. The buildings retain old or original doors, windows, and shutters. Along the front, there is a raised cobbled pavement with a high kerb made of large roughly-hewn granite blocks.
