Trago Farmhouse

Trago Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid 18th century, with a late 18th century wing at the rear and a 19th century outshut. It is constructed of rubble stone and features a scantle slate roof with gabled ends. The building has a large projecting stack, rendered with a brick shaft on the left-hand gable end, and a stone stack heightened with brick on the right-hand gable end. The south front is rendered and leads to the projecting wing at the rear.

The farmhouse has a two-room layout with a cross passage that has been extended to form an 'L' shape with the wing on the west. The outshut contains a dairy and a butterwalk in the angle on the north-west side. It stands two storeys high and has a regular three-window east front, with windows set in their original openings. The ground floor openings are beneath cut stone segmental arches with slate cills. There is an early 19th century 16-pane sash window on the left and a circa 1970 three-light window with glazing bars on the right. A glazed 20th century door is located near the centre. On the first floor, there is an early 19th century 16-pane sash window, a later 8-pane sash window, and late 19th century 4-pane sashes to the right.

Inside, there are later fireplaces and renewed ceiling beams. The roof consists of seven bays with chamfered collars and pegged joints. The farmhouse was formerly owned by the Earls of Radnor and later became known as Barton Farm, part of the Clifton Estate at Lanhydrock. Records related to the property are held in Lanhydrock. It is also mentioned by Rev. Samuel Dunn in "Life of Adam Clarke," published in 1876, and in Joseph Polsue Lake's "Parochial History of the County of Cornwall," published between 1867 and 1873, with a reprint in 1974.
