Tregonning Farmhouse

Tregonning Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from around the early 19th century, built on a site with earlier history. It incorporates materials and a datestone inscribed "16W99" from a previous house. The front is of roughly coursed granite rubble with dressed granite quoins, sills, jambstones, and lintels, while the side and rear walls are painted. The roof is half-hipped, covered in scantle slate, with some reused 17th-century handmade crested clay ridge tiles. Brick chimneys rise from the side walls. The farmhouse has a double-depth plan, initially comprising a parlour to the left and a kitchen/living room to the right, separated by a cross passage. This leads to a central stair, with service rooms at the rear – a pantry to the left and a back kitchen or dairy to the right. A single-story, partly hipped-roofed stone back porch/scullery lean-to adjoins the rear right corner.

The house has two storeys and a nearly symmetrical three-window front facing roughly south, with the doorway and windows grouped slightly towards the left. A gabled brick porch contains a central pointed arched window, and a ledged door is on the right. The ground floor windows are larger and feature 6-pane horned sashes. The interior has seen little alteration since the building’s construction and retains much of its original or later 19th-century carpentry and joinery. This includes a dog-leg staircase with stick balusters and turned newels, topped with ball finials, and two 2-panel doors, one with fielded panels likely reused from the earlier house. The farmhouse remains essentially unaltered since the 19th century.
