Description

This building, located 1 metre north of Treworlas House, is a bakehouse that was later used as a wash-house. It dates from the early 19th century and features slatestone rubble walls and a scantle slate roof with a brick chimney at one gable end. The structure has a one-room plan and is two storeys high. The southwest front has an original 12-pane, 2-light casement window on the ground floor, with an entrance and a small window on the gable end to the right. There is another entrance on the first floor at the rear left and another 12-pane, 2-light casement window to the right. The doors are boarded, and there are dove holes in the gables. The interior remains largely unchanged, featuring a bread oven to the left of the main fireplace, which has a separate flue. The original pine roof structure includes lapped and pegged collars.
