Trerize Cottage And Garden Walls To West

Trerize Cottage is a house with an integral cottage, including garden walls to the front, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of painted rubble with granite dressings and cob on the first floor, featuring slate sills and granite lintels over the ground floor openings, along with shallow brick arches on the first floor. The roof is hipped and covered with asbestos slate, with brick chimneys on the side walls and a central stack over the party wall on the right. The building has a double depth plan, consisting of a two-room wide house on the left and a one-room wide cottage on the right. The reception rooms are located at the front, with shallower service rooms at the rear. There is a central cross passage in the house and a passage on the left side of the cottage. The structure is two storeys high and features a regular three-window west front. The house is symmetrical with a two-window design and a central doorway on the left, while the cottage has a regular one-window front on the right with a doorway on the left. All windows are original 16-pane hornless sashes. There are early 20th-century conservatory porches with a 20th-century door for the house and an original six-panel door, with the top panels later glazed, for the cottage. The interior has not been inspected. The garden walls are made of mortar-coped rubble and are linked to the cottage at right angles, returning parallel to the front with two gateways featuring granite monolith piers. This building presents an interesting 'semi-detached' design and remains largely unaltered since its construction.
