5/68 Treworgie Farmhouse - II

Farmhouse. C18. Stone rubble and cob walls, rear painted first floor of front rebuilt or refaced with brick circa late C19, slate sills and wooden lintels. Half- hipped grouted scantle slate roof with brick chimneys over side walls. Cast iron ogee gutter at rear. Plan of original 2 room double depth house left plus one room wide and originally 2- rooms deep cottage at right, now the kitchen. House has through passage left of middle with parlour left of passage and kitchen/living room right, shallower service rooms behind at left and right with stair between at right of through passage. Cottage, with large fireplace backing onto side wall of house, has winder stair to the rear right-hand corner of the original house approached by an axial passage cut through the right-hand side wall of the house when the cottage was added circa late Cl8/early C19. 2 storeys. Regular 3-window south east front with house front left and side wall of cottage, right. House has doorway left of middle with small C20 conservatory in front. 6-pane horned sashes except ground floor right which has C20 French windows with sidelights in probably widened openings. Rear is almost unaltered except for C20 glazed door and circa late C19 horned sashes to mid-floor stair window left of doorway and 2 windows at right. The windows, left, are old 2-light casements with glazing bars, the ground floor wider one, possibly original, with 12 panes per light. Interior retains much original carpentry and joinery, including dog-leg closed- string stick-baluster stair, 2-panel doors with HL hinges and beamed ceiling and wooden fireplace surround in the present kitchen. The rear of this house is even more attractive and complete than the front, but both elevations are enhanced by the fine scantle slate roof.
