Description
Trevore Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century, was significantly remodelled in the 18th and 19th centuries, with a small addition made in the 20th century. It is constructed of granite rubble with granite dressings, and has a scantle slate roof covered in grout. The roof features a granite chimney that has been heightened with brick on the left-hand gable, an axial brick chimney towards the right, and a brick chimney on the right-hand gable.
The house has a long rectangular plan, including a 17th or 18th-century outshut behind the left-hand side, a probable 19th-century lean-to at the left-hand end, and a 20th-century single-room wing at right angles behind the middle. Originally, the plan might have been for three rooms of the same length as the present two-storey building. A 17th-century fireplace at the right-hand end indicates the oldest part, while a straight joint towards the right of the front wall suggests the left-hand end is even older, although the front wall was rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. The layout now comprises a two-room wide house on the left, with a kitchen on its left, and a wide single-room plan wing on the right. The wing on the right has a 18th-century oven built into its 17th-century fireplace and has likely been used as a bakehouse since the 18th century; the ground floor room is now only accessible via a doorway at the front.
The south-east front has a regular five-window arrangement. The left-hand side has a granite ashlar plinth and a doorway to the left of the middle, with two windows to the right of the doorway. The right-hand side has a central doorway and a ground floor window to the left of the doorway. It has a circa early 19th-century four-panel door and circa late 19th or early 20th-century four-pane horned sash windows. Some 17th-century chamfered masonry is visible at the rear. The bakehouse was the only interior space inspected; it features a 17th-century chamfered granite fireplace on the right, with an 18th-century oven behind its left-hand jambstone. A second oven is present in the left-hand room, but is concealed within a partly blocked fireplace.
