Trelash Cottage And Two Cottages Adjoining On Right

A row of three cottages located in Warbstow. The left-hand cottage is likely 17th century, and the two to the right probably date to the 18th century. The cottages are built of rendered stone rubble and cob, with rag slate and regular slate roofs and gable ends. A projecting stone rubble end stack is visible on the left, with a projecting cloam oven. There’s a stone rubble axial stack to the central cottage and a brick shaft to the end stack on the right.

Trelash Cottage, the leftmost of the three, has a two-room plan. The larger left-hand room is heated by an end stack, with a smaller, unheated room to the right. A circa 18th or 19th century service outshut was added to the rear right, and an early 20th century single-room extension is present at the rear left. The central cottage has a single-room plan and is heated by an axial stack in the left-hand wall. The right-hand cottage likely originally had a single room, heated by a stack at the end.

The left-hand cottage has a near-symmetrical two-window facade. It features a circa 19th century lean-to porch with a 19th century two-light casement window to the left, and a 20th century one-light casement to the right. Late 19th or 20th century two-light casement windows are on the first floor. The central cottage is set slightly forward, with an entrance on the left, a lean-to outshut across the front, and a 20th century three-light casement window on the first floor. The right-hand cottage has a studded 19th century door on the left and a 19th century three-light casement window to the right, with a further 19th century two-light casement window on the first floor.

Inside Trelash Cottage, there are 20th century floor joists and a 17th-century chamfered timber lintel over the fireplace, along with a cloam oven. The interior of the central cottage has been gutted, and the interior of the right-hand cottage was not inspected.
