Farmhouse. Late C18, incorporating work of C16. Killas stone, with granite dressings, slate roof. Plan: Double range, with central stair hall flanked by reception rooms. Outshut with kitchen behind at right end. Short extension to left, meeting a 3-bay killas rear range at right angles, originally thatched, now with asbestos sheet roofing. Gable stacks. Elevation has central recessed glazed door; tripartite 4-pane sashes with granite voussoir lintels, cambered at centre. Sash windows to rear. Date stone inscribed with diagonal line and date 15-9 set in front wall. Rear wing has granite 4-centred moulded arch with label and triangular spandrels, probably reset, and now serving an outbuilding, and a reset 2-light hollow chamfered window, and moulded stones set to form of a cross. Treluddrow barton, a free tenement of Cargoll manor, came to the Borlase family by marriage c.1500, when it was raised in status. The house was the centre of a C16 deer park, and the stonework fragments are probably from the Borlase mansion. Local lore records a chapel in the rear wing, if so, than doubtless recusant. Dr. Borlase the eminent Cornish historian and descendant of the family noted a carved cross base there on his visit in 1755.
