Description
Cathedral View House, formerly known as Trevrea, is a house that has been converted into a residential home. It dates from the 1850s and is constructed from local rubble with granite dressings. The building features very steep gabled dry Delabole slate roofs, along with lateral and axial stone stacks topped with gablet heads. The overall plan is irregular and T-shaped, with an entrance hall and a larger stair hall under separate roofs at the west angle, as well as 20th-century extensions at the rear and on the left.
Designed in a domestic Gothic style, the house has two storeys plus attics. The irregular elevations include shouldered window openings, most of which have small-paned casements. The south-west entrance front features a two-storey porch on the right, which includes a pointed-arched moulded doorway with a hoodmould and a window above also with a hoodmould. Inside the porch is the original V-jointed boarded door set within a moulded wooden inner frame. To the left of the porch, the roof sweeps down to form an outshut over three ground-floor windows. There is a wide two-light dormered window on the right with a patterned slate-hung gable, and a service shouldered-arched doorway set back on the left. To the right of the porch is the taller gable end of a cross wing that has a lean-to three-bay arch-braced verandah, with three similar bays on the right-hand return. The central doorway features a shouldered arch, with a three-light window above and a two-light window in the gable.
The south-east garden front has a verandah return on the left, three windows and a gable above, followed by a taller gable with a two-storey canted bay window and a two-window-range rendered wing on the right. The other elevations are similarly detailed.
Inside, the building has been altered to meet fire regulations but retains the original staircase with square turned balusters and a carved newel post, along with some chamfered, panelled door reveals and some chamfered panelled doors.
