Tredinnick Farmhouse

Tredinnick Farmhouse is a granite farmhouse dating to around the mid-17th century, with later additions and alterations from the late 19th century and the 20th century. The farmhouse is built of granite rubble with a slate roof, ridge tiles, and gable ends. It has gable end stacks with brick shafts. Originally, the farmhouse had a three-room plan, with the rooms on either side being heated by gable end stacks. A cross passage linked the rooms, with a rear doorway to the left, possibly providing direct access to the lower room. The central room was unheated and lit by a small window to the right of the doorway. In the late 19th century, a straight staircase was inserted at the rear of the passage, and a one-room kitchen wing was added to the rear, behind the lower room to the left, which is heated by a gable end stack. In the 20th century, the partition wall between the unheated central room and the room to the right was removed. The front of the farmhouse is asymmetrical with four windows, all of which are 20th-century casements. The first floor windows are mostly three-light casements, with the exception of the second from the left, which is a two-light casement. The ground floor has three casements with chamfered granite surrounds, two being two-light and one being a narrow single light to the right of the door. The doorway has a 4-centred arch in granite, hollow-chamfered, with a 20th-century door. The left end of the farmhouse is blank. The right end has a stack projecting at the base of the wall. At the rear, a window is blocked at ground floor, and the wall line changes to the right inside the porch. The later wing has a blind gable end, and its inner side has a six-pane sash window at ground floor and two four-pane sashes at first floor. There is a porch with a 20th-century door and a two-pane light. On the ground floor, ceilings beams are 19th century, with 20th-century fireplaces set into the gable ends. The doorway to the rear wing is granite with a chamfered surround and a flat arch. The roof is not accessible.
