Description

Trap house, approximately 110 metres south-southeast of Penwarne House, dates from the mid-19th century. It features a granite ashlar front wall with rubble walls elsewhere and an asbestos slate hipped roof. The building has a symmetrical rectangular plan, with a central tack room and carriage house on either side. The tack room includes a projecting bay window at the rear.

The exterior is single storey with a symmetrical northeast front that has a central round-headed doorway flanked by wide doorways. The ashlar walls have a chamfered plinth, and voussoirs are linked to the coursing of the wall over the central doorway, with lintels above the other doorways. The central doorway retains its original spoked fanlight and ledged door, while the wider openings have similar double doors. The interior has not been inspected.
