Trehane Barton

Trehane Barton is a house dating from the early to mid 17th century. It is constructed from slate stone rubble and rendered, with a bitumen-coated rag slate roof featuring gable ends and several likely early crested ridge tiles. There is a catslide roof over a rear outshot, with rendered brick end stacks and a rendered end stack on the outshot at the rear right. The original plan of the house is uncertain, but it currently has a layout of two rooms and a through passage, heated by end stacks. A 18th-century outshot has been added across the rear, with the back kitchen heated by an end stack to the rear right and a dairy to the rear left. The two front rooms in the earlier range appear to be larger than typically found in this type of Cornish house.

The exterior is two storeys high with a regular three-window front. It features a wide 20th-century two-light casement window to the left, a 20th-century door in a rendered lean-to porch, and another wide 20th-century two-light casement to the right. On the first floor, there are two 20th-century two-light casements and a four-pane sash window in the centre. There is also a 20th-century extension on the left gable end. Inside, the outshot at the rear has roughly chamfered, fairly heavy ceiling beams, while the earlier range is not accessible. Trehane Barton was home to a branch of the Nicholls family.
