West Tremar Farmhouse

Farmhouse, likely originally two or three cottages, and now a single house. The building has late 17th or 18th century fabric, significantly modified in the early 19th century and mid-20th century. It is constructed of painted stone rubble with a slate roof, hipped to the left with a front lateral stack rising through the gable and a shaped top; a gable end stack to the right; and a gable end stack to the rear wing. Part of the building is slate-hung.

The original plan comprised two rooms, with a larger room to the left, heated by the front lateral stack, and a passage and smaller room to the right, heated by a gable end stack. A rear wing of two storeys and one-room plan, heated by a gable end stack, was added around the mid-18th century. A stable was added circa 19th century to the right end, situated at a higher ground level.

The exterior presents as two storeys and an asymmetrical three-window range. The first floor has one window to the left and two to the right, all 19th-century 16-pane sashes, with a small 20th-century light to the right of the gable. The ground floor has a panelled door, a 16-pane sash with a flat stone head to the right, and a 20th-century 12-pane sash to the left of the front lateral stack. Attached to the right is a single-storey stable with a corrugated asbestos roof and gable ends, and three doors. The left side has a four-pane sash at ground floor and a 20th-century two-light casement at first floor. The rear wing has a 20th-century glazed addition at ground floor, a two-light casement, and a door, all of the 20th century. The first floor level is slate-hung and has a 20th-century two-light casement. The rear of the wing has an external stack and a single-storey rendered lean-to. The rear of the main range has a 20th-century addition at first floor with a flat roof, and a slate-hung rear with a 20th-century raised walkway leading to a 20th-century door at first floor. The rear of the stable is built into a bank.

Inside, the front room to the right has irregular cross-beams, but these are not chamfered. The end fireplace features roughly hewn granite jambs and a cambered timber lintel. The room to the left has 19th-century ceiling joists. A fireplace to the front lateral stack has similarly constructed granite jambs and a cambered timber lintel. Windows on the front and side have plain plank shutters with strap hinges. This room is situated at a lower floor level. The roof structure is from the 19th century. The rest of the interior was not accessible during the survey in October 1986.
