Description
Trudgeon Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse with later 19th-century additions and a few alterations. It is constructed from granite and elvan stone rubble with stone dressings and features a hipped slate roof with ridge tiles. The building has front lateral stacks on both the right and left sides, with a brick shaft, and a brick shaft for a stack at the rear left end. The farmhouse has an L-shaped plan, with a central entrance, a kitchen on the right heated by a front lateral stack, and a parlour on the left, also heated by a front lateral stack. There is an integral rear wing on the left with a one-room plan, heated from a stack at the rear end, and a single-storey unheated outshut on the right, which serves as a dairy and dates from the later 19th century.
The exterior is two storeys high with a symmetrical entrance front. The ground floor features a central recessed round-arched doorway with a dressed stone arch and an inner 19th-century four-panelled door. On the first floor, there is a central 19th-century two-light casement window with two panes and a round dressed stone arch. To the right, the dairy outshut has a two-light four-pane 19th-century casement. The left side of the building has two 19th-century four-pane sash windows at both the ground and first floors, each with keystones, and a blocked doorway set off-centre to the left. At the rear, the main range has a four-pane sash window on the ground floor and a 20th-century window on the first floor, along with a lean-to porch on the right featuring an inner plank door. The rear wing, rendered, has a half-hipped roof and an end stack. The interior has not been inspected but may retain early 19th-century features, such as a staircase. This farmhouse has an unusual plan for its date.
