Farmhouse. C18. Painted brick laid to English bond with granite sills and shallow arches to front, otherwise painted rubble with some stucco. Steep asbestos slate roofs with brick chimneys over gable ends, the right hand chimney over large outbuilt stone breast. L-shaped plan. Parlour left, hall/kitchen right, wide passage between leading to central stair hall in hipped roofed wing; axial passage behind parlour to probably original deep service wing at right angles behind, plus later outshut at rear of hall/kitchen. 2 storeys. Nearly symmetrical 3-window east front, originally a 5 window front but remodelled in the circa mid-late C18 by the blocking of the 2nd and 4th 1st floor windows, partly blocking the ground floor windows and inserting wider windows between. Central doorway with C18 6-panel door with top panels later glazed. Panelled jambs and architrave of C18 porch originally probably with triangular pediment, now simplified. C18 hornless sashes with thick internally ovolo moulded glazing bars, the wider ground floor ones with 20 panes and 1st floor ones with 12 panes. The rear stair window is 12-pane sash and those to the service wing are horned 4- pane sashes. Interior : Parlour and stair hall have C18 plaster bolection moulded panels and moulded cornics. The C18 stair is open-well closed-string with Chinoiserie balustrade. Original 6-panel doors. Trewince Farmhouse has remarkably survived hardly altered since the C18 and particularly notable are the C18 windows and the parlour and stair hall features.
