Trerose Manor House

An 18th-century manor farmhouse, extended in the 19th century. The house is constructed of killas rubble with granite dressings, and has a scantle slate roof with a half-hipped end at the front of the left-hand range, although much of the roofing has been replaced with Spanish slate. It has a large rendered stack over the original right-hand gable end and a brick axial stack over the cross wall of the left-hand range. The plan has evolved into an overall L-shape, beginning as a double-depth house with a hall/kitchen on the right and a parlour on the left, separated by a former passage that led to a stair hall and shallow service rooms at the rear. Subsequent 19th-century extensions included a barn on the left, a single-room wide wing on the right, and a two-room plan wing set at a right angle in front of the left-hand side.

The southeast front, with four windows overall, displays a symmetrical three-window façade to the original farmhouse section, centering on a doorway. The ground floor openings now have 20th-century French windows; the original first floor has circa early 19th-century 16-pane hornless sash windows, although some 18th-century windows remain at the rear. Later 19th-century horned sashes and 20th-century hornless sash windows with glazing bars fill the other openings. A tripartite window with stone mullions is found on the left-hand wall of the wing, alongside an inscribed plaque in the right-hand light.

Inside the original farmhouse, features such as ovolo moulded beams, six-panel doors, a dog-leg stair with turned balusters over a closed string, a moulded ceiling cornice in the chamber over the parlour, and a domed bread oven in the large kitchen fireplace remain.
