Description

Trevoulter Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th and 17th centuries, with the lower end rebuilt in the 18th century. The building features whitewashed rendered cob, with the right gable end wall rebuilt in stone. The roof is partly thatched and partly slated, and there is one projecting stone stack with a brick shaft, along with a brick chimney at the right gable end and another over the porch gable apex, where the shaft has been removed. The house consists of two builds and may have an early 16th-century roof, although access to the roof space was not available during the survey in 1984.

The layout includes three rooms and a cross passage, with a hall and heated parlour at the higher end and a kitchen at the lower end. There is also a dairy under a slate roof at the rear of the hall. The farmhouse is two storeys tall, featuring one window at the lower end, one at the porch, and two at the higher end. The entrance is deeply inset into a through passage that goes through a gabled two-storey porch, with an additional entrance at the front into the lower end.

On the ground floor, the left window at the lower end is a two-light 19th-century casement with six panes per light, while the left window at the higher end is a two-light casement with leaded panes. The window one from the right is a three-light 20th-century casement with two panes per light, and the right window is a three-light casement with eight panes per light. The first floor has a left window that is a two-light 19th-century casement with eight panes per light, a three-light 20th-century casement to the right of the porch with two panes per light, and a right window that is a three-light casement with leaded panes. The windows to the right of the porch have been set back into the wall thickness.

Inside, the farmhouse has slate floors throughout. The kitchen features cross beams of heavy scantling, and there are unmoulded exposed beams in the cross passage. The hall contains a large fireplace with a timber lintel and a cloam oven. A 17th-century plank and muntin screen on a low stone wall separates the hall and parlour, with the wall also serving as a hall bench. The staircase has turned balusters, and a low 17th-century timber arched doorway leads into the room over the porch, which has traces of a moulded plaster cornice.
