Stables And Coach House West South West Of The Trewardreva House

Stables and coach house to Trewardreva House, probably built in 1719 when Trewardreva House was remodelled by Thomas Trewaren. The building is constructed of granite rubble with a granite ashlar front and left hand (south) end, with a scantle slate hipped roof and red clay ridge tiles.

The building is rectangular in plan and two storeys high. The stables are entered through a doorway at the centre of the front elevation, while the integral coach house at the right hand end is entered through a doorway in the right hand end wall. The loft above the whole building is accessed via external stairs at the right hand end at the back, where the ground level is higher.

The front elevation is symmetrical with five windows of ashlar, featuring flat stone arches to the windows and a segmental arch to the central doorway. The opening above the doorway is blind. The other windows contain 19th and 20th century casements with glazing bars, and the central doorway has circa 19th century plank double doors. The right hand (north) end has a wide carriage doorway with an elliptical dressed granite arch and later plank doors. To the right of this end are external stairs leading to the loft doorway, which has a 19th century glazed door. The left hand (south) end is ashlar with a doorway to the right, featuring a segmental arch with a fanlight and plank door. The rear (west) elevation has an external flight of stairs to the right of centre leading to the loft doorway with a plank door. In the angle to the right of the stairs is a small single storey outshut, and to the left is a group of brick pigeon holes.

The stable stalls have been removed. The roof structure was not inspected.

Included with the listing is a pair of gate-piers immediately east of the building. These are dressed granite piers with chamfered caps, erected circa 1936. They incorporate circa 17th and 18th century finials of granite with ogee conical necks and large ball finials. These finials were originally positioned in front of the house, where they had been reused as garden ornaments.
