Trenance

Trenance is a house located on the south side of Grampound Fore Street, dating from the early 19th century, with later alterations made in the 19th and 20th centuries. The building is constructed from stone rubble with granite dressings, and features late 19th-century brick alterations. It has a slate roof with ridge tiles and gable ends, and gable end stacks with brick shafts.

The house has a double depth plan, consisting of a large principal room on the front left and a smaller room on the right, both heated by gable end stacks. A square bay was added to the front of the right room in the late 19th century. At the rear, there are shallow service rooms and a rear wing with a one-room plan on the left, also heated from an end stack.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical three-window front. Most windows are mid-19th century, except for the ground floor bay on the right. The first floor features three 16-pane sash windows with cambered dressed granite arches. The ground floor includes a 19th-century six-panelled door with a margin-glazed overlight and a flat hood supported by plain piers, along with two similar 16-pane sashes to the left. The right side has the late 19th-century square bay window with a hipped slate roof, featuring a four-pane sash window at the front with sidelights.

On the left end, there is a two-light, two-pane 19th-century casement window with a cambered brick arch at ground floor level, along with a 20th-century half-glazed door and shallow hood. The first floor on the left has a 19th-century 16-pane sash with a cambered brick arch and a small plate-glass sash. The rear wing on the left is two storeys high with a hipped roof and a small single-storey lean-to. The inner side of the rear wing has two 2-light casements with cambered brick arches from the 19th century on the first floor, while the ground floor has a 20th-century door and a 2-light casement.

The rear of the main range has a 19th-century 16-pane sash with a cambered brick arch on both the ground and first floors to the right and left. There is a 20th-century half-glazed door with an overlight located off-centre to the left. A central eight-pane sash window lights the stairs, featuring a round arch and Y tracery in the glazing bars, with a cambered brick arch above. The right end of the house adjoins another property. The interior is not accessible.
