North Tregeare Farmhouse

North Tregeare Farmhouse is a house dating from the late 16th century or early 17th century, possibly with earlier origins. It is constructed of rendered and painted stone rubble and cob, topped with a rag slate roof featuring gable ends. The house has a brick shaft for the end stack on the left and a large stone rubble end stack on the right.

The building is arranged down a slope, with the lower end to the right. It has a two-room layout with a through passage, both heated by end stacks, and includes a 17th-century two-storey porch, which may be a slightly later addition. Thick cross walls flank the passage, with the higher cross wall extending nearly to collar level. The roof structure was replaced in the 19th century, and there is a small service wing at the rear of the right-hand room, likely from the 18th century.

The exterior features two storeys and an asymmetrical window arrangement of 2:1:1, with the two-storey porch located near the centre under an asymmetrical gable. The porch has a four-centred granite outer arch with a hollow chamfer and eroded stops, while the right-hand jamb bears incised initials, T.B. (or P) E. On the first floor, there is a two-light mullion window with a hood mould. The higher side of the front to the left has a circa 19th-century three-light casement on the ground floor, along with a two-light casement and a four-pane sash on the first floor. The lower side of the front to the right features a two-light mullion window and a six-pane sash on the ground floor, with a two-light casement on the first floor. The doorway inside the porch leads to the passage and has a chamfered square-headed granite frame with pyramid stops.

Inside, the wide passage is flanked by thick cross walls, with plastered ceilings. The fireplace at the lower end is blocked by a Rayburn stove. The higher end has been partitioned, and a stair has been inserted. The left-hand room, which is heated by an end stack, was not accessible at the time of the survey. The roof appears to have been largely replaced in the early to mid-19th century.
