Cottage 30 Metres to North West of Trevathan Farmhouse

This is a house, likely dating to the 1720s, situated 30 metres to the north west of Trevathan Farmhouse. The construction is of ashlar stone with a slate roof, and it features brick gable end stacks, with one projecting and one axial stack heating the higher end of the hall. The building's original layout is uncertain due to alterations, but it appears to comprise a two-room plan on the left and the remains of a one-room plan to the right, with a rear wing behind. There is suggestive evidence of a blocked door, connecting the higher end of the hall to the room on the right. The entrance to the left-hand range leads directly into the hall, indicating an absence of an original cross passage. The rear wing on the right has been partly demolished and was likely heated by a side lateral stack, potentially predating the main 1720s range.

The front facade is regular, with a four-window arrangement. The left-hand range has a symmetrical three-window frontage, with 20th-century PVC windows likely replacing original mullion and transom windows. A circa 18th-century six-panel door with a fanlight sits centrally. The first floor has three 20th-century PVC windows set within sash openings. The right-hand range features a double 19th-century 18-pane sash window on the ground floor and a 24-pane hornless sash window on the first floor. An original mullion and transom window is visible on the stair projection to the rear of the left-hand range.

The interior retains a fairly complete 1720s layout, with six-panel doors on the ground floor and three-panel doors on the first floor retaining their original hinges. The left-hand room has an early 18th-century moulded cornice, above a timber bolection moulded fireplace, with a contemporary china cupboard featuring raised and fielded panels. The larger right-hand room, presumed to be the hall, has been partially divided by a circa 1950s partition to create a cross passage. The original cornice indicates the hall entrance originally opened directly into the room. A circa 1720s open-well staircase, with a closed string, turned balusters, square newels, and a moulded rail, is found within a projecting rear stairwell. Contemporary plasterwork above the staircase depicts an angel's head with strings of foliage. The first floor retains some moulded cornices. The building was originally owned by the Robartes family of Lanhydrock before being sold to the Peters family of Marlyn.
