Description
Lower Treveria Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around the 1860s, with an additional service wing and back stair added in the 1880s. The structure is made of rendered stone rubble and features a slate roof with hipped ends and a dentilled cornice. There is a rendered brick chimney stack on the left-hand hipped end and a rendered axial chimney stack in the service wing.
The layout likely consists of a central entrance leading to two main reception rooms at the front. The service rooms are located in a projecting wing at the rear, which has a separate entrance that probably leads into the original kitchen. The overall plan is L-shaped, with a further two-storey service range added in the angle between the main range and the service wing during the 1880s.
The farmhouse is two storeys tall and has a cellar. The front and side elevations retain original 19th-century hornless sash windows. The symmetrical front has three windows; the ground floor features two 12-pane sashes flanking a central 19th-century door with a slate hood. The first floor has two 16-pane sashes flanking a central 12-pane sash. The side elevation has a nearly regular six-window front, with a 19th-century bay window in the reception room on the left, two 12-pane sashes near the center, and a part-glazed 19th-century plank door with a slate hood and a 12-pane sash to the right. The first floor has six 16-pane sashes.
At the rear, there is a lower two-storey service range. The interior is simple, featuring 19th-century slate chimney pieces in the reception rooms and a softwood 19th-century back stair in the rear service range. This farmhouse is an interesting example of a mid-19th-century building from the high farming period, showcasing an impressive six-bay facade created by its long service wing. It remains unaltered on all elevations, retaining its 19th-century windows.
