Description

Tregony House is a town house dating to around 1740, with an earlier 17th-century wing and later additions. The front facade was altered in the late 19th century. The front is of rendered brick, while the rear and wing are of painted rubble stone. The roofs are covered with asbestos and scantle slates, with chimneys above and a lateral stack on the gable ends. The house has a single-depth, two-room plan, with a stair turret to the rear left and a long wing to the rear right.

The two-storey, three-window front features a wide, central six-panel door with a beaded bottom panel and overlight. The windows are six-pane sashes with horns. A stucco platband runs across the front, and the eaves slightly project. A 19th-century brick chimney is above the left gable, with a 20th-century brick chimney shared with the adjacent property, number 14, above the right gable.

The rear wing comprises three phases of building. A 17th-century two-light wooden mullioned window, with notches for saddle bars and later inward-opening casements, remains on the ground floor of the south wall. A heavy ovolo-moulded four-pane light from the first half of the 18th century is set into the north wall; this is likely a reused fragment from the original front sashes.

The interior of the 1740s part of the house is largely intact, showcasing a semi-circular arch to the passage, fielded six-panel doors with HL hinges, a heavy turned baluster dog-leg staircase with a moulded staircase balustrade, and moulded plaster ceiling cornices. A 17th-century oak ovolo-moulded fireplace lintel, supported on ovolo-moulded oak corbels, is found in a first-floor room of the wing. Pegged trusses in the main roof appear to date from around 1800.
