Great Trewirgie Farmhouse

Great Trewirgie Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 17th century, with a rear wing added in the 18th century. It is constructed of shale rubble, featuring timber lintels, and has scantle and asbestos slate roofs with brick and stone chimneys. The building has a T-shaped plan and is two storeys high, with a three-window east front. The door is located off centre to the right, with a window above it. To the left, there is a wide ground floor window that is a four-light, 32-paned casement with a shallow brick arch above. The window to the right is a 20th-century addition in a slightly narrower arched opening. The smaller first-floor windows are two-paned sashes. The roof has a brick gable chimney on the left and a hip on the right. A large lateral stone stack remains over the back wall towards the north end, while another stack towards the south end survives only as a breast. The right (north) end wall is made of cob, and the tithe map indicates that the east wing is joined to this wall. The rear wing has a stone dated 1727 located under the eaves to the right of the door. There is a lean-to at the end of the wing that houses a well with a granite trough. The interior features much 18th-century detail, including several two-panel doors (some with H-L hinges) and a late 18th-century dog-leg staircase. The cross passage of the 17th-century section aligns with a long wide passage along the south side of the wing.
