Description

Trevenning Cottage is a house dating from the early 18th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with granite dressings and features a rag slate roof with gable ends and brick end stacks. The layout consists of two rooms with a central cross or through passage, with both rooms heated by end stacks. There is a 20th-century extension of one room added to the rear of the right-hand room.

The cottage is two storeys high and has an almost symmetrical three-window front. The central entrance is adorned with a 19th-century six-panel door and an early 18th-century porch supported by granite columns on moulded square bases, featuring simple moulded capitals and a flat timber roof with a moulded cornice. On the ground floor, there is a probably renewed 20th-century 16-pane sash window on the left, a 20th-century two-light casement with glazing bars on the right, and a circa 19th-century 16-pane sash window in the centre of the first floor. Flanking the building are two late 20th-century gabled half dormers, each with 16-pane sashes. The interior is not accessible.
