TREMAINE TRUSELL SX 28 NW 7/180 Farmhouse on north side of - settlement at Trusell

GV II

House. Circa late C19, possibly with earlier origins. Stone rubble with granite quoins. Slate roof with gable ends. Brick end stacks. Plan: Double depth plan with entrance to left of centre; kitchen on right and parlour on left, both heated by end stacks. Stair opposite entrance with dairy to rear left and unheated service room to rear right. Exterior: Two storeys. Regular symmetrical 2-window front with entrance to left of centre; C19 door and C19 brick porch flanked by C19 mullion and transom window to left and similar larger C19 window to right. First floor with two C19 2-light casements. Set into the rear elevation above the entrance are two carved granite panels with the initials S.P. (Parsons) and the date illegible. These may have been reset from an earlier house. Interior: Especially complete. The right hand hall kitchen is heated by a large fireplace with circa late C16 or early C17 granite chamfered lintel and jambs with concave stops. The fireplace has been partly blocked. Almost complete dairy to rear left. The outbuildings to the north east contain the remains of a circa late C16 chamfered granite segmental arch. It is possible that the early remains of dressed stone in the back wall of the house and in the outbuilding either came from an earlier house on the site or from the disused farmhouse to the south. (qv disused farmhouse south east of Trusell Farmhouse.)
