Trink Cottage

Trink Cottage is a farmhouse with an adjoining barn, likely dating from the 17th century, with the front rebuilt in the 18th century and extended in the 19th century. The front is made of granite ashlar, while the rest is constructed from granite rubble. The house has a steep corrugated iron roof, with granite ashlar stacks at the original gable ends. The barn and some rear lean-tos have grouted and slurried scantle slate roofs. Originally, the house had two rooms: a larger hall or kitchen on the left and a parlour on the right, connected by a cross or through passage. In the 19th century, a two-storey barn, which includes a loft over the shippon, was added to the right side, along with single-storey service lean-tos behind the middle, left, and left-hand side of the house. The exterior is two storeys high and features a nearly symmetrical two-window south front. The doorway is slightly to the right of the middle and has a 19th-century four-panel door, with a shallow lean-to porch supported by a granite monolith on the right side. The windows are late 19th-century or 20th-century horned sashes. The barn has a central doorway and a first-floor doorway, which is now a window, towards the left. The interior has not been inspected.
