Tregada House

Tregada House is a farmhouse, now a house, dating from the early 17th century with later additions and alterations. It has a roughcast slate-stone exterior and a slate roof. The building features a three-unit through-passage plan and stands two storeys high, with a two-storey gabled porch. To the right of the porch, there are two glazing bar sash windows on each floor, with the upper right window replaced by a late 20th-century casement. The upper left window has 15 panes, while the ground floor window has 20 panes and horns. The porch contains a three-light late 20th-century casement on the first floor and glazed double outer doors. Inside, there is a 17th-century nail-studded plank door with strap hinges set in a moulded wood surround. To the left of the porch, there is a small 18th-century casement with H-hinges directly below the eaves, and a late 20th-century casement replaces an infilled doorway on the ground floor.

A rubblestone ridge stack is located immediately to the right of the porch, featuring slate drips and an additional red brick shaft at the front, along with an integral end stack to the right that has a red brick shaft. The rear of the house includes a two-storey lean-to on the left and a single-storey lean-to that was formerly a dairy at the centre rear.

Inside, there is a 17th-century round-headed wooden doorway at the rear of the through-passage, which has an exposed timber frame in the left wall. A similar doorway in the rear left corner leads to the two-storey lean-to, which features exposed joists and a tiny window looking into the through-passage beyond the inner rear doorway. The front room to the left of the passage also has exposed joists. The larger room to the right has chamfered cross beams and joists, along with a granite fireplace on the left. The room further to the right again has exposed joists and a Victorian slate fireplace with a cast-iron grate. Throughout the house, there are plank doors, including one leading to the back wall of the room to the right of the passage, which opens to a wide spiral staircase. Some of the timber frame is exposed on the original back wall on the first floor. The roof features a collar truss design in two bays to the left of the ridge stack, with two additional bays to the right. A light timber-framed partition with long straight tension braces and cob infill is exposed in the roof space, extending to the ground floor and separating the two right ground-floor rooms. This area has a 19th/20th-century collar and tie beam roof in three bays to the right.
