Treovis Farmhouse

Treovis Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating to the late 17th century, with a substantial refronting in the late 18th century and later alterations in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is constructed of slatestone and granite rubble, partly rendered, with a corrugated asbestos roof, gable ends, and gable end stacks with rubble shafts.

The building originally comprised a two-room plan with a hall to the left and a kitchen to the right, each heated by a gable-end stack, and connected by a through passage. In the late 18th century, a stair was inserted within the passage, and a two-storey outshut was added along the entire rear, containing an unheated dairy to the left and a kitchen to the right.

The exterior presents a symmetrical three-window facade. The first floor has casement windows with eight panes each, fitted with L hinges. The ground floor has a central 20th-century gabled porch with a panelled door and overlight. To the left is a two-light casement with a segmental stone head, and to the right a five-light casement with ten panes per light, also with a stone segmental head. The left side is rendered and has a 20th-century two-light casement at first floor in the outshut. The right side shows a straight joint related to the stack, suggesting a rebuilding of the flue. The outshut has a 20th-century two-light casement (formerly a door) on the ground floor, and a two-light casement with a roughly hewn timber lintel on the first floor. The rear is rendered, with a 20th-century window, door, and two-light casement to the dairy, and a single light to the right. At the rear, a small two-light casement and single light are at first floor; the outshut is built into a bank with stone steps to the right.

Inside, the entrance passage has a straight stair spanning the width. A single jamb remains from a former rear passage door, now concealed within a cupboard below the stair. The right side of the passage features a chamfered beam with run-out stops. The room to the left has a fireplace with a flat granite lintel and jambs, and is chamfered. The room to the right has a wooden lintel to the front window, which has been plastered over. The rear dairy has a slate floor and a slate table. The rear kitchen also has a slate floor and formerly featured a fireplace using the main gable-end flue. The first-floor chamber above the hall has a granite fireplace with a flat, chamfered lintel and jambs. The feet of the principals are visible on the first floor, and the roof space is not accessible. The roof appears to have been reconstructed to incorporate the outshut, reusing at least one chamfered principal rafter.
