Description
Trenedden is a farmhouse, now a private house, dating to around the 17th century. It is built of painted stone rubble, with concrete blockwork repairs visible at the upper end of the front and in the higher gable. The roof is covered in scantle slate, with a hipped section at the lower end on the left and a gabled section on the right. A projecting chimney stack, built of painted stone rubble, rises from the front lateral side of the through passage towards the upper end.
The original layout comprised two rooms and a through passage, with an unheated lower room and a heated hall at the upper end, served by the front lateral chimney stack. A staircase was inserted in the rear of the through passage in the early 20th century. An outshut was added to the lower, hipped end. A 19th-century extension at the higher gable end was demolished in the mid-20th century.
The front façade is asymmetrical, with two windows. The ground floor features a 19th-century four-pane sash and panelled entrance door to the left of the chimney stack. A blocked window opening sits to the right of the stack. Two 19th-century four-pane sash windows are located to the left of the chimney stack on the first floor. The rear elevation's fenestration has been altered. C20 windows have been inserted into the right-hand gable end following the removal of the 19th-century extension.
The interior through passage is flanked by timber plank and muntin screens; a screen on the lower side may be from the 19th century, while a screen on the upper side is possibly from the 18th century and features a slightly chamfered sole plate and bressumer. The sole plate has been altered. The front lateral hall stack has a 20th-century chimney piece. The lower end, through passage, and part of the hall have fairly heavy chamfered ceiling beams, with reused 17th and 19th century ceiling beams running at right angles to those of the main range. A 20th-century screen partitions the hall from a rear dairy. Roof timbers were largely replaced in the 1930s. A lath and plaster screen closes the truss above the lower side of the through passage. The roof structure has not been fully inspected.
