Tretheague Mill

Tretheague Mill, probably dating to the late 18th century with extensions circa the early 19th century, is a miller’s house constructed of granite rubble. The front has a scantle slate roof, while the rear has a corrugated asbestos roof that slopes downwards. The right-hand gable end features a brick chimney, and the left end has a hipped roof. Cast-iron ogee gutters are present. The building comprises a three-room main range with smaller service rooms at the rear. The original double-depth miller’s house is located on the right, with a kitchen/living room on the right and a parlour on the left. An extension on the left includes a fireplace that once housed a copper, suggesting a former use as a washhouse, and may have previously contained mill machinery. The southeast front is approximately three windows wide. The original front has a near-symmetrical two-window facade with a 19th-century four-panel door in the centre, and a more irregular single-window front belonging to the early 19th-century extension on the left. A ledged door is present at the other doorway. Windows are late 19th-century six-pane horned sashes, or later copies, with one two-light casement at the far left. The interior remains fairly unaltered, retaining much of its 19th-century structure and joinery.
