Description
Treworga Farmhouse is a late Medieval farmhouse that was remodeled in the early 17th century and again in the mid-20th century. It features a slatestone front and ends, with a rendered rear and an asbestos slate roof, along with external stone gable stacks. The building has a three-room plan, with a 20th-century wing added to the rear center and a mostly rebuilt wing at the lower end. It stands two storeys high and has an irregular front with four windows, with the entrance located between the third and fourth windows. The ground floor left has a wide window opening with an oak lintel above it. There are dove holes on the first floor between the first and second windows. All windows are 20th-century wooden casements with two or three lights and glazing bars. The rear features irregular small openings and a two-light ovolo moulded mullioned window on the ground floor right at the upper end, similar to a window found in a blocked opening on the lower gable end.
Inside, the farmhouse has a heavy chamfered and stopped waney oak beam in the wider middle room, likely the hall. Several moulded and stopped oak lintels remain, including one with scrolled stops. A notable plasterwork barrel ceiling, probably from the early 17th century, is found in the first-floor room at the upper end, featuring a central pendant and geometric and plant mouldings. Some raised cruck trusses were removed during renovations, and smoke blackening was observed, with surviving oak pegs providing evidence of this. A wide lean-to porch extends at the entrance.
