Description
Treoffal Farmhouse is an early 19th-century farmhouse constructed of rendered stone with a stone slate roof that has replaced the original thatch. The building has an L-shaped plan, with the front block likely designed as a two-room layout, accompanied by narrow service rooms at the rear, a central cross passage, and a rear wing on the left that includes a rear entrance passage, a former dairy, and a kitchen featuring a gable stack. There is a lean-to structure against the kitchen gable, which served as a former service room, and a single-storey wash house positioned at right angles.
The front elevation consists of three window bays, highlighted by raised quoins and a decorative moulded plat band, along with moulded eaves. The central entrance features a recessed six-panelled door with a narrow overlight above. The windows are double-hung sashes with twelve panes, where the centre pane is wider, and they have moulded rendered architraves and sills supported by consoles. The mouldings around the door have been removed. The building has brick gable stacks, and the rear wing is characterized by heavy granite voussoir lintels on the ground floor, complete with raised keystones, and brick arches above the first-floor windows.
Inside, there is a 19th-century staircase located in the former rear narrow service bay, and the sitting room to the right has been extended into the rear bay. The former dairy in the left end of the rear bay features vented top sections in its timber walls. While there are no original fireplaces, a large timber lintel is known to exist in the left front room stack.
