Description

Trezelah Cottage is a farmhouse with an adjoining cottage, likely built in the 18th century and extended around the early 19th century. It is constructed from granite rubble with granite dressings and features an asbestos slate roof. The original granite ashlar stack is located over the gable end on the right, while there are brick chimneys over the party wall and the left-hand gable of the later cottage. A large external chimney breast is situated on the right side.

The layout consists of a two-room 18th-century house on the right, which includes a hall and kitchen in the larger right-hand room, with a cross passage between it and the two-room cottage addition on the left, which may have originally been a farm building. There are 19th-century lean-tos at the rear of the house.

The exterior is two storeys high, with an overall three-window front facing southeast. The cottage on the left has one window front, while the house on the right has two windows. The house features a nearly symmetrical front with a doorway that is central to the fenestration, which includes a 20th-century door and porch. The windows are late 19th-century four-pane horned sashes. The cottage has a doorway slightly right of the center and small windows on either side, with an early 19th-century 12-pane two-light casement above the doorway. The interiors have not been inspected.
