Tregerry Farmhouse

Tregarry Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the late 16th or early 17th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and cob, with a rendered and painted front facade. The roof is covered in rag slate with gable ends, featuring a rebuilt stone rubble end stack on the left side. The original plan comprised two rooms and a cross passage, with an end stack to provide heating; a larger hall-kitchen occupied the lower right side and a parlour was located to the left. A stair turret projects to the rear of the passage. Original partitions separated the cross passage from the hall-kitchen and parlour, with a thick stone rubble wall between the passage and parlour extending to the first-floor level, above which a thinner partition was located. The roof timbers appear to have been replaced, though only the feet of the principals were visible during inspection, and there is evidence that the eaves have been raised. A 19th-century service outshut is attached to the rear of the hall-kitchen.

The two-storey exterior has a ground level that slopes gently to the right. The entrance is positioned slightly to the left of centre and is framed by a segmental arched hollow chamfered granite surround with ball and run-out stops. Flanking the entrance are 19th-century three-light casement windows. Three further three-light casements are on the first floor. A stair projection is visible on the rear elevation, alongside a 19th-century lean-to outshut extension.

Inside, the cross passage has a plastered thin partition, likely covering the remains of a screen on the right, and a cross wall on the left. The hall-kitchen features widely spaced, heavy chamfered cross beams, with the floor joists covered. The granite fireplace has a slight camber to the hollow chamfered arch, with corresponding moulded jambs, although the stops are obscured, and the fireplace has been partly blocked. A late 19th or early 20th-century chimney-piece in the parlour may have been installed during a partial rebuild of the end wall. The stair within the turret has later timber treads that cover the original, possibly stone, treads. The interior of the turret is semi-circular while the exterior is rectangular. A later 19th-century window replaces the earlier staircase window opening, suggesting that the eaves of the stair projection have been raised. The structure of the roof was not accessible for inspection in 1987.
