Tredea Manor

Tredrea Manor is a country house, later divided into flats. It was first built around 1740 by the Fox family and remodelled or rebuilt in the early to mid-19th century. The house is constructed of stucco, with scantle slate roofs featuring gable and pedimented ends, and polygonal tops to the front canted bays. Axial chimneys have cornices over the cross walls, and cast iron ogee gutters form an eaves cornice. The roofs are arranged in a triple span, with cross roofs behind the canted bays.

The plan incorporates a side entrance leading to a central stair hall, which separates three principal rooms on the right (facing the gardens) from the service rooms on the left. The house is two storeys high. The south-east garden front is symmetrical, with a three-bay central section flanked by projecting three-window canted bays. The symmetry has been disrupted by French windows replacing a sash window in the fifth bay. Replacement horned sashes are fitted, with glazing bars; the ground floor openings are taller. The south-west entrance front has a set-back one-window pedimented gable, a projecting two-window pedimented gable with a porch, and a section of the south-east front wall. The original windows were hornless 12-pane sashes. The pediments have moulded cornices, and the porch has a doorway within a recessed area between piers, with a moulded cornice below the pediment and a plain frieze.

The interior was only partially inspected, to include the stair hall and porch. The open-well stair has an open string with shaped tread ends, a wreathed handrail, and turned balusters. The ceiling features a moulded cornice and band. The porch floor is laid with slate flags. Tredrea Manor is a large house set within good grounds and overlooks the Kennal Valley.
