Trevoole Former Manor House And Adjoining Walls

Trevoole is a former manor house dating to the 17th century, located in Crowan. It is constructed of granite rubble with dressed granite moorstone quoins, doorways, mullioned windows, and fireplaces. The roof is corrugated asbestos, replacing a steeper original roof. The house originally comprised two rooms arranged around a through passage, with a hall/kitchen to the right and a parlour to the left. A large hall fireplace features substantial 17th-century bread ovens behind each jamb. The parlour fireplace connects to a smaller fireplace in a former first-floor room at the rear. Original windows include a two-light hall window, a three-light parlour window, and a single-light window in the rear wall of the hall, now partially obscured by a probable 18th-century rubble lean-to, possibly a wash house. A small fireplace exists in the right-hand wall, and evidence remains of the original steep roof pitch above. A front doorway remains in situ; a rear doorway has been blocked, and a later doorway has been cut towards the right. A cobbled courtyard sits at the front, enclosed by a probable 19th-century wall, which has a front window opening on its right-hand side. The house is now roofed with modern materials. The two-storey, two-window south front displays an original roughly central chamfered doorway, the head of the former hall window to the right, and the head and jambs of a wider parlour window to the left. A complete two-light mullioned window is visible on the ground floor of the left-hand gable end. Interior features include three splayed-on-plan granite fireplaces with straight chamfered edges and diagonal stops, and bread ovens with shouldered arched openings and smaller inner frames. Corbelled domed rubble interiors are present, as are two cyma-moulded oak cross beams near the hall fireplace. Trevoole is an interesting two-room plan 17th-century house, where the hall functioned as a kitchen and the parlour served both hall and parlour purposes, with an integral window bay beside the fireplace.
