Trewidden House

Trewidden House is a country house built around the 1840s. It features pebble dash over stucco and has scantle slate gabled roofs with projecting eaves and verges. The house has axial, gable, and lateral stuccoed stacks, some with octagonal shafts. The overall plan is a large irregular double depth U-shape, with a cross passage on the right. The principal reception room is located to the left of the passage, with a stair hall behind it and three additional reception rooms (two of which are behind the front wing) on the garden front to the right.

In the Tudor Gothic style, the house is two storeys high with asymmetrical gabled elevations and hoodmoulds over the original openings. The south entrance front has a total of nine windows arranged in a 2:1:2:1:1 bay pattern. There is an entrance porch in front of a steep projecting bay at the angle with a gabled-ended wing on the far right. This porch, dating from the late 19th century, features a four-centred arched doorway with a two-light mullion above and octagonal corner turrets. To the left of the porch is a two-window bay addition. Most windows have 19th or early 20th-century casements, some with leaded lights.

Inside, Trewidden House contains many high-quality 19th-century features, including an original open well stair with octagonal newels and turned balusters. Four inspected reception rooms each have panelling, ceiling cornices, and other details in an early 18th-century style. The rear right-hand room is panelled in tulip wood, while the room in front of it has multiple breaks in the architraves of the panels. The porch is panelled in bleached oak. Trewidden House is a complex and unusual structure, exhibiting an overall architectural unity while the plan and elevations are intentionally irregular, giving the impression of a house that has evolved over time.
