Tremont And Trenarren Including Garden Walls

Tremont and Trenarren are a house and garden walls, now divided into two separate dwellings, dating to the early 19th century. A date stone of 1821 is visible on the east wall. The house is constructed of elvan ashlar to the garden and entrance fronts. It has a half-hipped scantle slate roof with brick chimneys over the side walls. The rear (northwest) has an asbestos slate roof with a brick chimney over the gable end, which is now a party wall with an adjoining house of the early to mid-19th century.

The original plan comprises two rooms flanking a central stair hall, with a passage behind the left-hand room, and a contemporary one-room rear service wing to the northwest, and a narrow service room to the rear of the right-hand room, with a further extension to the east. The house is two storeys high, with a symmetrical three-window garden front. The ground floor has original, taller 12-pane hornless sashes with internal shutters; the first floor has 16-pane hornless sashes. There is a plinth, granite sills, and shallow elvan arches with projecting keystones. The central doorway, approached by four granite steps, has a round-headed arch with a 6-panel door and a blind fanlight. The southwest side has a two-window entrance front with original 16-pane hornless sashes. A doorway under the second window has a circa late 19th-century two-panel door with an overlight and a late 19th-century wooden porch with stop-chamfered details and jettied pendants supporting a cornice with modillion brackets; the doorway was likely inserted in the late 19th century. The rear has an original round-headed sash window to the stairwell.

The interior is largely original, featuring an open-string stick baluster dog-leg stair with a mahogany handrail, 6-panel mahogany doors with inner bead moulding to the panels, moulded architraves with roundels in the corner blocks, and moulded plaster ceiling cornices. A granite ashlar garden wall runs along the west side, with the remainder being rubble.
