Trebellan And Ruins To North And West

Trebellan is a house with picturesque ruins located to the north and west, dating from around the 18th century and significantly extended and remodeled in the 1840s. It is constructed of stone rubble and features steeply pitched slate roofs, which were originally thatched. The building has gables on the front left and right, as well as gable ends on the rear wings. There are stone rubble axial stacks with brick shafts and moulded terracotta pots.

The layout includes a south front range that originally had a central entrance, with rooms on either side heated by back-to-back fireplaces served by axial stacks. There may be an earlier wing to the rear left, which has a two-room single depth plan and likely became the kitchen range in the mid-19th century. The reception rooms in the rear right wing overlook the garden and are also heated by axial stacks. An outshot was added across the rear of the right-hand wing in the early 20th century to create a corridor.

The exterior is two storeys high with an asymmetrical four-window front, featuring gables on the front right and left, and a central range with two gabled half dormers. The ground floor has PVC double doors, while the first floor has an early 19th-century glazed door with margin glazing bars in the gable to the right. The east garden front has one storey and an attic, with a symmetrical four-window elevation. There is a 20th-century extension to the front left and three double PVC doors on the ground floor. Above, there are two gabled full dormers with 19th-century sash windows. A circa 15th-century one-light window, originally made from a single piece of stone, has been reused in a mid-20th-century porch at the rear of the right-hand wing.

Inside, parts of the house have been remodeled, but 19th-century doors and intersecting floor joists remain. The picturesque ruins from the 1840s surrounding the house feature two-centred arched openings. Early photographs in the owner's possession show the house's original picturesque design with steeply pitched thatched roofs.
