Description
Tresawson Cottage is a small farmhouse, likely built in the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed of slatestone rubble with granite quoins and jamb stones, topped with Delabole slate roofs and featuring brick chimneys at the gable ends. The building has a symmetrical two-room central stair plan, which includes an earlier one-room section on the right-hand side and an outshut part that forms an L shape.
The southeast front has two storeys with three windows on the left and one on the right. There is a narrow central door leading to the main part of the house, with a narrow window above it. All the windows are wooden sashes with glazing bars, and they have shallow brick arches above them. The earlier section, which is at a lower level on the right side of the two storeys, has one window on the front that also features a similar sash window. The brick arch heads above the openings may have been altered. The interior has not been inspected.
