Description
Treswarrow Farmhouse is a house dating from around the mid-17th century, which was remodeled and extended in the early to mid-18th century, and further extended on the left-hand side in the mid-19th century. The building is constructed of stone rubble and features an asbestos slate roof with half-hipped ends on the right side and a hipped end on the left, along with a gable end on the right. There is a large projecting stone rubble chimney stack with a brick shaft on the right half-hipped end and another brick stack on the left half-hipped end.
The house has a two-room and through passage plan, with a hall kitchen located on the right. The early to mid-18th century alterations included the insertion of a stair at the rear of the passage, the addition of a heated service room that later became the dairy at the back of the left room, and a smaller service room built behind the right room. The farmhouse is two storeys high with a symmetrical three-window front. On the ground floor, there is a 19th-century 16-pane horned sash window on the left and a 20-pane horned sash window on the right, both set in brick segmental arches. The central entrance features a 19th-century four-panelled door.
On the first floor, there is likely a late 19th-century six-pane sash window on the left and 19th-century 16-pane hornless sashes in the centre and on the right, all with brick flat segmental arches. The right-hand side wall has a large projection for the chimney stack, which includes two rows of pigeon holes that continue around the stack. The 19th-century range on the left is also two storeys high, with a regular two-window front featuring 19th and early 20th-century windows.
Inside, the 17th-century range has a central passage with the left-hand side partition removed. There are 19th and 20th-century chimney pieces and probably late 18th-century ceiling beams with bowtell mouldings. The wall at the rear of the single depth range is thick, and the 18th-century stair projects slightly at the rear of the passage, featuring a closed string, square newels, turned balusters (some of which have been partly replaced), and a moulded rail. Throughout the house, there are complete 18th-century two-panel doors with original HL hinges. The roof timbers are not accessible.
