Tresahor Veor Including Front Garden Area Wall, Railings, Gate Piers And Outbuilding Adjoining South West

Tresahor Veor is a farmhouse dating from circa the mid-19th century, which was enlarged and altered slightly later in the same period. The house is constructed of granite rubble with dressed granite quoins, lintels and sills. The roof is grouted scantle slate with gabled ends and red clay crested ridge tiles, while the gable end stacks feature red brick shafts. Ogee-moulded cast-iron gutters run around the building.

The plan consists of a single-depth two-room front range, with each room heated from a gable end stack and a central stairhall between them. Behind the right-hand end is a large single-room rear wing with a kitchen fireplace in its gable end, now used as a scullery and dairy. Later in the 19th century, a narrow rear wing was constructed in the angle to the left of and parallel with the original rear wing, apparently serving as a back parlour. The passage at the back of the right-hand room of the front range is probably a later 19th century alteration providing access to the right side of the house, which now contains the service rooms. The adjoining barn, dated 1858, may indicate when the house was enlarged and rearranged.

The exterior presents a symmetrical three-window south-east front of two storeys. The windows are 19th century six-pane sashes with vertical glazing bars only, set within granite lintels and sills. The central doorway features a 19th century glazed and panelled door beneath a canopy with a hipped slate roof, scalloped valance and pendants supported on timber brackets and moulded granite corbels.

Pair of adjoining gable-ended wings occupy the rear. The earlier left-hand wing contains a 19th century two-light casement on the ground floor, a brick stack over the gable, and a semi-circular plan coal-house or ash-house in the left-hand angle. The right-hand wing has a 19th century two-light casement and door on the gable end, two 19th century sixteen-pane sashes on the first floor of the right side, and a 19th century six-pane sash below.

The front of the house includes a garden area wall and railings constructed of granite rubble with rock-faced granite coping stones. Iron railings with fleur-de-lis finials sit above. Small granite monolithic gate-piers with pyramidal caps and 20th century gates complete the frontage.

The interior has been virtually unaltered since the 19th century. The front left-hand room features a deeply moulded cornice and a 20th century tiled chimney-piece. The front right-hand room, now the kitchen, displays exposed bead-moulded joists and a plank partition to the passage behind. A 19th century dog-leg staircase with closed string, turned newels and balusters ascends between the two rooms. The back parlour contains a 19th century wooden chimney-piece set across the corner with a bracketed shelf. The dairy features an open fireplace, now plastered over, a boarded meat-larder in one corner with wooden dowel grille, and a meat-safe in the adjacent corner. The interior is complete with all its 19th century joinery, including panelled and plank doors.

A single-storey shippon range adjoins to the left (west) of the house. It is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings and a scantle slate roof with gabled ends, partly replaced with corrugated iron. The left-hand end is set back slightly. The front features four small square window openings and three shippon doorways, one of which has a reused hollow-chamfered granite lintel. Three ventilation slits appear in the left-hand gable end.
