Treglith Farmhouse

Treglith Farmhouse is a house and attached outbuildings dating from the early 17th century, with extensions in the later 17th and 18th centuries. The walls are of stone rubble and cob, rendered and painted on the front and painted on the rear, and covered by a rag slate roof with hipped ends to the front range and a combination of hipped and gable ends to the rear. Stone rubble end, axial, and lateral stacks are present.

The original layout is uncertain due to limited interior access during a 1987 survey. A stone trough dated 1636 with the initials J.S. (Spettigue) is located in the courtyard near the house. Hearth tax returns suggest the house originally had just three hearths in 1664, indicating that it was probably extended later in the 17th and 18th centuries. The front range features a two-room plan with a central entrance, and fireplaces in the rear wall. A parallel range to the rear has a right-hand room that was originally heated by an end stack. A single-room wing is located on the rear left. Attached to the rear right is a line of outbuildings containing a back kitchen, dairy, and a farmbuilding of uncertain purpose.

The front elevation presents a symmetrical three-window facade with a central entrance. A 19th-century six-panel door is set within an 18th-century open porch with dressed granite columns and a flat canopy with a moulded cornice. There are two 3-light mullion and transom windows on the ground floor, and three above, likely dating from the early 18th century, with some renewed window lights. The rear elevation is largely unaltered, retaining a 17th-century ovolo moulded mullion and transom window with leaded lights and early glass in the rear wing. The outbuildings have lower roofs and 19th-century windows.

The interior is partially accessible; the rear part of the house contains service accommodation with late 18th and 19th-century joinery and slate flag floors. The house remains largely unaltered and unspoiled, retaining several 18th-century doors. The 19th-century joinery is notably complete, and the service rooms are intact, with alterations to be kept to a minimum.
