Tressidder

This is a small farmhouse dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of granite rubble with dressed granite used for the quoins, lintels, and window cills. The roof is covered in corrugated asbestos sheets with gable ends, and a catslide roof at the rear. Large granite stacks are positioned at the gable ends, with the larger kitchen stack located to the left. The farmhouse follows a double depth, integral outshut plan. The front consists of two rooms of equal size, separated by a cross-passage. Both rooms were originally heated by fireplaces in the gable ends; the left room served as the kitchen and the right as the parlour. Behind the parlour is a shallow, unheated dairy, and behind the kitchen is the stairwell, which contains a dog-leg staircase and a small pantry or store to its left, all within the outshut.

The front elevation is symmetrical with three windows. The first floor has two 2-light, horizontally sliding sash windows with 8 panes each; the central window is likely a 20th-century insertion. The ground floor features two large, late 19th-century 2-light casements with 12 panes, and a central doorway containing a 20th-century door. The rear roofline extends over the integral outshut, with lower eaves. The rear elevation contains two 19th-century 2-light casements to the right and a doorway with a 20th-century door to the left. Each gable end features a 20th-century 2-light casement window.

Inside, the two front ground floor rooms have bead-moulded ceiling joists, and the first floor retains plank doors. The original dog-leg staircase has square newels and two rails instead of a balustrade. The remaining joinery dates to the 20th century. Tresidder farm comprised 36 acres and was part of the Manor of Tucoys, the only manor in Constantine mentioned in the Domesday Book.
