Trevol House

Trevol House

A house dating to circa 1810, incorporating an earlier building to the rear. The structure is constructed of rubble rendered with a slate roof, featuring a gable end stack to the left and a stack to the rear wing.

The main front elevation is asymmetrical, with a central entrance and a canted bay projecting to the right, with a rear wing also positioned to the right. The plan forms a U-shape with a rear courtyard. To the rear left stands an outhouse range, with service rooms to the rear left that incorporate the earlier building; the site of an early stair is visible at first floor level to the rear left.

The building is two storeys with three windows to the front. At first floor level, all windows are 12-pane sashes in plain reveals. The ground floor contains a 15-pane sash with a recessed panel below. The central doorway features a panelled door with a glazed upper panel, a Vitruvian scroll frieze and fanlight with radial glazing bars, flanked by pilasters with a blocking course and panel over. The two-storey canted bay to the right contains a 15-pane sash with 5-pane sidelights at ground floor level and a 12-pane sash at first floor. A plinth and first floor band course run across the elevation. At ground floor, the canted bay has blind windows; at first floor, there is one blind window and one 12-pane sash. The right side features a pedimented gable end, echoed on the left side of the main range.

The rear wing to the right contains two windows per floor: ground floor 15-pane sashes and first floor 12-pane sashes with panels below. The rear of the wing houses service rooms and contains a 2-light casement and 15-pane sash at ground floor, with a 12-pane sash at first floor. A two-storey rear stable and outhouse block features a segmental-headed door. The left side of the main range has no windows. The rear gable end of the rear wing has a 4-light window and an attached stable and outhouse range. The rear of this range displays varied twentieth-century windows and a brick gable end stack to the left; the right gable end has a half-glazed door and 2-light casement. An inner single-storey addition to the end of the stable and outhouse range contains a door, a door and 2-light casement at ground floor, and two 2-light and one 3-light window under the eaves. The former stair of this range is now incorporated into the junction with the house. The inner side of the rear wing has a 9-pane sash and 2-light casement at first floor, with a door and window beneath a corrugated asbestos hood. The rear of the main house has a door to the left, a 2-light window and a 25-pane sash at ground floor, and a 12-pane sash at first floor; a lead rainwater head with coronet top and moulded plate fixings is present.

Internally, the central entrance hall features a vaulted ceiling with moulded arches and doors to right and left set within eared architraves with Greek key mouldings and cornice. The doors are five-panelled and fielded. A circular stairwell to the rear has a modillion cornice at first floor level, with a moulded string, wreathed handrail, and turned and knopped balusters. Doorways to the rear right room and front rooms have plainer moulded architraves and panelled doors; service rooms to the rear have similar simple treatment. The room to the front right displays a Greek key and anthemion cornice and contains panelled shutters to the windows. The rear right room serves as a pantry with a panelled door. At first floor level, a circular landing gives access via five doorways with eared architraves and panelled doors. A corridor along the rear wing has doors fitted with Gothic glazed overlights.
