Description
This is a house, likely dating from the 17th century, constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings, quoins, sills, jambstones, lintels, and kneelers. The roof is covered in scantle slate, with a rendered granite chimney stack marking the junction of the two gabled roof sections. The house has an irregular L-shaped plan, with a projecting wing to the front left, and a service room projecting further beyond the left wall of that wing. A buttery or pantry fills the angle between the main house and the wing.
The main range originally comprised two rooms, with a parlour wing set at a right angle. The hall and kitchen are located to the left of the main range and incorporate a large fireplace with an oven. The right-hand room likely served as a buttery and contains a niche for a well, originally fed by a spring. A passageway once ran along the rear of the parlour wing, connecting to a doorway beside the hall/kitchen fireplace. The upper floor in this section has since been removed.
The front of the parlour faces southeast with a single 16-pane casement window on the ground floor, and a 12-pane horned sash window above. Below the first-floor window, there are two rows of pigeon holes. The hall/kitchen front, facing southwest, originally had three windows, though the doorway to the left of the centre was once a window, indicated by the splayed interior reveal. An open slate lean-to porch covers the entrance, and the ground floor windows are fixed 9-pane casements, while the first-floor windows are 12-pane horned sashes. The interior was remodelled in the 20th century but retains original structural features.
A rubble garden wall encloses a small rectangular garden at the front. Round-headed granite gate piers mark the entrance, aligning with the front doorway. To the left of the house, a granite rubble wall surrounds a well, with the rear side being a single-story outhouse. The well itself is complete with a wooden windlass, iron crank handle, and rests on an unhewn granite monolith and the outbuilding. The overall plan of Trevurvas Wollas is notable and potentially explainsable with detailed surveying.
