ADVENT SX 18 SW 5/23 Trewint - II

Farmhouse. Possibly late C16 with a mid C19 extension. Local stone rubble, rendered on front. Slate roof with gable ends with second parallel range to rear with half hipped end on right and hipped end on left. Corrugated asbestos roof to wing on rear right with gable end. Brick stack on left hand gable end, rendered rear- lateral stack in central valley heating left hand room of front range. Gabled stone rubble rear lateral stack heating right hand room on rear. The arrangement of the original plan is uncertain. The earlier remains appear to comprise the range which is of 1-room plan and heated by a gabled rear lateral stack and a single storey wing of 1-room plan to rear right, built into barn as ground rises on rear. This wing is apparently unheated and its original use is uncertain although the right hand side wall has a ventilation slit and the left hand side wall has been partly rebuilt in the C20. It is possible however that this rear wing was originally heated by the lateral stack which now heats the room in front, the fireplace thus having been reorientated. Additionally the weathering on the stack indicates the earlier higher roof height of the rear wing. In circa mid C19 a front range of 2 room plan with central entrance was added across the front and it is possible that the rear range was extended on the left in the mid C19, contemporary with the front extension. 2 storeys. Regular 3-window front with 2 tall 16-pane sashes on the ground floor with C19 hood moulds and a C20 glazed brick porch in the centre. 3 small 16-pane sashes on first floor. Right hand side wall of rear range has 4-light mullion window on the ground floor, the central king mullion surviving and the 2 outer mullions removed. 3-light mullion window on first floor with mullions removed. Interior remodelled largely in C19. Room on front right has a C19 chimneypiece and the earlier range to rear has a C20 grate served by the rear lateral stack. First floor and roof structure not accessible.
