Trewithian House, Gate, Piers, Steps And Garden Walls To East

Trewithian House is a country house, now divided into two residences, featuring a gate, piers, steps, and garden walls to the east. It was remodeled around 1700 from an earlier structure. The building has slatestone rubble walls and a hipped asbestos slate roof, with brick chimneys located over the hipped end of the left wing, the external lateral breast of the right wing, and the rear lateral stack of both wings. The house has a U-shaped plan with a main stair that is off-center to the right and is two storeys tall.

The east front is symmetrical with three windows, flanked by projecting wings of equal length. The central doorway features a six-panel door and a distyle Tuscan porch, which is likely a 20th-century copy, topped with a low-pitched triangular pediment. The ground floor windows have 24-pane sashes with flat slatestone arches, while the first-floor windows have wooden lintels. The left ground floor window retains its original sash with heavy ovolo moulded glazing bars. The north wall of the left wing has two windows with 24-pane sashes, where the first floor left and right windows are blocked, and there is another original sash with 18 panes on the left of the east wall, along with a smaller 4-pane sash on the right. The south wall has three windows, including a 16-pane sash above a small gable porch with a side entrance and another 16-pane sash to the right on the first floor. The right wing features a 12-pane sash on the ground floor middle and east.

At the rear, there is a 24-pane sash for the main stair and a wide three-light casement to the right. Inside, the original open well main stair and a dog-leg second stair both have concealed balusters. The parlour in the right wing retains a clover leaf, torus moulded plaster ceiling from around 1700. However, contemporary bolection moulded panelling was removed in the 1970s. The original pine roof structure includes lapped and pegged collars to the principal rafters. The property has historical deeds dating back to the 14th century.
