Description

Treswell Farmhouse and garden wall to the front is a farmhouse that likely has origins in the 17th century and was extended in the later 18th century. It is constructed of stone rubble and features a slate roof with gable ends on the left and a higher slate roof with hipped ends on the right. The building has a projecting stone rubble end stack on the left and stone rubble rear lateral stacks with brick shafts near the center and to the right.

The original layout of the farmhouse is uncertain, but it is possible that the left-hand range is the lower end of an earlier house. This part has a one-room and entrance plan with the entrance on the right, adjoining a later range and a room on the left that is heated by a large projecting end stack. There is a noticeable straight joint between the two ranges. The right side, dating from the 18th century, has a two-room and cross passage plan with an entrance to the left of center. It features a larger room on the right and a smaller room on the left, both heated by rear lateral stacks. There is also an 18th-century stair projection at the rear of the passage, along with late 18th-century and 19th-century service outshuts to the rear.

The exterior of the farmhouse is two storeys high with an asymmetrical window arrangement of 2:3. The earlier lower range on the left has a dressed stone arch to the ground floor window, which contains a 19th-century three-light casement. To the right is a 19th-century door with a hipped slate hood. On the first floor, there are two 19th-century two-light casements. The higher range on the right features a probably 19th-century four-panel door with a slate hipped hood to the left of center, flanked by two 19th-century tripartite sashes with dressed stone flat arches. There are two similar windows on the first floor, with a 19th-century twelve-pane sash in the center. The rear elevation has a slate-hung stair projection with a hipped end at the back of the 18th-century range. The lean-to outshuts and a single-storey small service wing also have slate roofs. In front of the 18th-century range, there is a garden wall made of stone rubble and quartz. The interior is not accessible.
