Description
Treworgie Farmhouse is an 18th-century farmhouse located in Manaccan. It features stone rubble and cob walls, with the rear first floor rebuilt or refaced in brick around the late 19th century. The roof is half-hipped and covered with grouted scantle slate, complemented by brick chimneys on the side walls. At the rear, there is a cast iron ogee gutter.
The original layout consists of a two-room double-depth house on the left, with a one-room wide cottage on the right that now serves as the kitchen. The house has a through passage to the left of the center, with a parlour on the left and a kitchen/living room on the right. Shallower service rooms are located behind on both sides, with a staircase positioned to the right of the passage. The cottage features a large fireplace that backs onto the side wall of the house and has a winder stair in the rear right corner, accessed through an axial passage that was cut into the right-hand wall when the cottage was added around the late 18th or early 19th century.
The farmhouse is two storeys high and has a regular three-window front facing southeast, with the house on the left and the side wall of the cottage on the right. There is a doorway to the left of the center, with a small 20th-century conservatory in front. The windows are mostly 6-pane horned sashes, except for the ground floor on the right, which features 20th-century French windows with sidelights in likely widened openings. The rear of the building remains largely unaltered, with a 20th-century glazed door and late 19th-century horned sashes in the mid-floor stair window and two windows on the right. The left windows are older 2-light casements with glazing bars, with the wider ground floor window possibly being original and having 12 panes per light.
Inside, the farmhouse retains much of its original carpentry and joinery, including a dog-leg closed-string stick-baluster staircase, two-panel doors with H-L hinges, a beamed ceiling, and a wooden fireplace surround in the kitchen. The rear of the house is particularly attractive and well-preserved, and both the front and rear elevations are enhanced by the fine scantle slate roof.
