Description
East Truas Farmhouse is a farmhouse built around the early 20th century. It features slate stone rubble and quartz construction, with a rag slate roof that has gable ends and sprocketted eaves. There is a rendered brick stack on the left gable end and an axial stone rubble stack that backs onto the right side of the stair hall. The building has a two-room single depth plan, with the entrance located to the left of center, leading directly into a wide stair hall. The smaller room on the left is heated by a gable end stack, while the larger room on the right is heated by the axial stack.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical three-window front that faces an internal courtyard, with the lower North Truas Farmhouse to the right and a small outbuilding opposite. The entrance door is partly glazed and located to the left of center, accompanied by a one-light and two-light casement window to the left and a three-light casement window to the right, all featuring glazing bars and dressed stone flat arches. On the first floor, there are three late 20th-century casement windows without glazing bars. The lower right gable end, which faces the road, has a four-light casement on both the ground and first floors, also with glazing bars and dressed stone flat arches, as well as a reset possibly 16th-century one-light greenstone window in the gable end. The rear elevation includes three half dormers with raking roofs.
Inside, there is an ashlar stone stair in the central stair hall, though the interior is not accessible. The farmhouse is part of an interesting group of buildings, likely designed by the same architect, including the contemporary North Farmhouse and an outbuilding opposite. These structures all face inward onto a grassed courtyard, while to the west is an earlier farmhouse that is now disused.
