Description

Trefresa is a farmhouse dating to approximately the 17th century. It is constructed of stone rubble with a slate roof, featuring a gabled end on the right and a hipped end on the left, with a catslide roof extending over a rear outshut. A rear wing on the left, likely from the 17th century, has been partly rebuilt in the 19th century. Brick stacks are visible in the gable ends and on the left-hand hipped end. The original layout was probably two rooms with a through passage, and the rear wing to the right had a single room plan with heating provided by end stacks. Around the early 19th century, service rooms were remodelled or added as a single-storey outshut extension to the rear, while the through passage was retained and a staircase was inserted to the rear of the central room. The rear left-hand wing was partly rebuilt around the mid-19th century. The front facade is regular with three windows, and features a 19th-century panelled door to the right of centre. There are two 19th-century 16-pane sash windows on the ground floor, with a stone rubble buttress on the front left-hand side. The first floor has two early 19th-century hornless 16-pane sash windows and a 20th-century window to the right. Side elevations feature 19th-century and later 19th-century 16-pane sashes. The rear elevation remains unaltered, with 19th-century window openings. The interior is not accessible.
