Trenewth House

Trenewth House is a house built in 1875 for J Gatley. It is constructed from snecked stone rubble with granite dressings and features a steeply pitched slate roof with gable ends on the front right and left. The roof is adorned with crested ridge tiles and has rendered axial stacks. At the rear, there is a lower service range made of stone rubble with a slate roof.

The house incorporates an earlier range at the back, which is a 1-room plan cottage dating from the 18th century. This cottage was integrated into the house, becoming the service range. The overall plan of the house is rectangular, with an entrance located in a porch that was rebuilt in the early to mid-20th century on the left side. Inside, a wide corridor runs from left to right, leading to a stair at the far right. There are three main reception rooms at the front, heated by axial stacks and overlooking the garden. The earlier cottage at the rear was converted around 1875 into a kitchen with servants' accommodation above.

The house is designed in a High Victorian Gothic style and stands two storeys tall with an attic and basement. The symmetrical façade features a 1:2:1 window arrangement with hood moulds over the ground and first-floor windows. The right and left sides of the house are slightly set forward, each with gable ends. The ground floor has 4-light mullion and transom windows with leaded lights, while the first floor has tripartite sashes and the attic features triangular-headed windows. The central section of the house has two 4-pane sashes on both the ground and first floors. The porch on the left is rendered with a flat roof. There is a stair window on the right side with a 2-centred arched opening. The rear of the house shows a two-window front of the earlier 18th-century cottage, featuring 12 and 16-pane sashes.

The interior of the house is largely complete, showcasing moulded cornices, contemporary doors and doorcases, an open string stair, and chimneypieces. Trenewth House is a particularly unaltered large Victorian house with a complete interior.

Historically, the site was originally held by the family of Trenowth and passed to John Brode in 1539. In 1725, it was transferred to John Phillips and then to John Gatley. The old farmhouse, now derelict, is located in the farmyard to the north.
