Description

Trewince Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse constructed of painted brick laid to English bond, featuring granite sills and shallow arches on the front, while the rest is made of painted rubble with some stucco. It has steep asbestos slate roofs and brick chimneys at the gable ends, with the right-hand chimney situated over a large outbuilt stone breast. The building has an L-shaped plan, with a parlour on the left and a hall/kitchen on the right, connected by a wide passage that leads to a central stair hall in a hipped-roof wing. There is also an axial passage behind the parlour that likely leads to the original deep service wing, which is positioned at right angles behind, along with a later outshut at the rear of the hall/kitchen.

The farmhouse is two storeys high and features a nearly symmetrical three-window east front. Originally, it had a five-window front, but it was remodeled in the mid to late 18th century by blocking the second and fourth first-floor windows, partially blocking the ground floor windows, and inserting wider windows in between. The central doorway has an 18th-century six-panel door, with the top panels later glazed. The doorframe includes panelled jambs and an architrave from the 18th century, which likely had a triangular pediment originally but is now simplified. The windows are 18th-century hornless sashes with thick internally ovolo moulded glazing bars; the wider ground floor windows have 20 panes, while the first-floor windows have 12 panes. The rear stair window is a 12-pane sash, and the windows in the service wing are horned four-pane sashes.

Inside, the parlour and stair hall feature 18th-century plaster bolection moulded panels and moulded cornices. The 18th-century stair is an open-well closed-string design with a Chinoiserie balustrade, and there are original six-panel doors throughout. Trewince Farmhouse has remarkably survived with hardly any alterations since the 18th century, making its 18th-century windows and the features in the parlour and stair hall particularly notable.
