Tredidon

This is a farmhouse with origins in the late 16th century, extended in the 17th century, and further extended and remodelled in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, with minor later additions and alterations. The building is constructed of rendered slate-stone, with the front gable end of a projecting range slate-hung. It has a slate roof, hipped to the late 18th/early 19th century addition.

The basic T-plan consists of a late 16th century range aligned roughly northwest to southeast, extended to the southeast in the 17th century. The later 18th/early 19th century addition, in three slightly irregular bays, has 16-paned glazing bar sash windows, all unhorned except for the lower right one, and an entrance with a half-glazed door and a semi-circular fanlight, sheltered by a 19th century wooden Doric porch with a 20th-century sloping lean-to roof. The projecting range has two 16-paned sash windows on each floor. A pyramidal lantern with a bell sits at the centre of the ridge, with a slate-hung stack nearby at the junction with the 16th century range. A single-storey lean-to is attached to the gable, screened from the garden by a front wall with a chamfered 4-centred granite arch (not in situ). The lean-to has a segmental-headed wooden doorway with a recessed boarded door, and a tall stepped stack is attached to the farmyard side.

The rear range, also re-fenestrated in the late 18th/early 19th century, has paired 16-paned sash windows directly below the eaves and 24-paned windows to the ground floor, all with crown glass. A prominent stack is located on the farmyard side, next to a half-glazed door with paired Gothic lights.

Inside, the entrance hall of the late 18th/early 19th century addition features a contemporary open-well staircase with a moulded wreathed and ramped handrail and thin stick balusters imitating cast iron, rising from a carved open string. An early 19th century clock is built into the wall above the staircase. A room to the right of the entrance hall has a plaster frieze with vine-leaf decoration and a moulded cornice. Several other rooms have plaster cornices and panelled window shutters. An original external wall of the 16th century house is located to the left of the entrance hall and contains a granite doorway with a 4-centred arch, hollow spandrels, and moulded jambs, facing the hall. The 17th century addition incorporates an inset wall cupboard with small drawers, and late 18th century blind Gothic-traceried panelled doors to one ground-floor room. The 16th-century range has a barrel-vaulted plaster ceiling on the first floor. The roof of the 16th-century part is a collar truss roof in 5 bays; however, the roof of the 17th-century addition (possibly a rebuilding of a 16th-century range) was rebuilt in the 19th or early 20th century. Deeds of the house are said to date back to 1474, suggesting an earlier building on the site.
