Trewithick With Attached Front Garden Wall

Trewithick is a house with an attached front garden wall, dating from the late 18th to early 19th century, with later 19th-century alterations and 20th-century additions. The construction is of slatestone rubble, some slate-hung and some rendered, with slate roofs featuring ridge tiles and gable ends. The original house has gable end stacks, one to the left with a rubble shaft and another to the right with a rubble and brick shaft. The original plan comprised two rooms, each heated by a gable end stack, with a central entrance. A single-storey, unheated lean-to adjoins the left end, and a single-storey outhouse is located to the rear left, both dating to the 19th century. A small barn was likely added in the 19th century, later rebuilt in the 20th century as a one-room plan wing of the house extending to the right.

The front garden wall encloses a small garden to the front of the original house. The house presents a nearly symmetrical two-window front, slate-hung with rag slates. A central 19th-century wooden gabled porch shelters a plank door. The ground floor has a late 19th-century six-pane sash window to the left and a 19th-century three-light two-pane casement to the right. The first floor has 19th-century two-light six-pane casements to the left and right. Attached to the right is the former barn, now with a symmetrical two-window front, with the upper level slate-hung and containing two 20th-century casements on both ground and first floors. A small stone rubble lean-to with a slate roof is attached to the right end of the barn, featuring an E VII letterbox in the front wall. The left end of the wall is blind, while its right end has a doorway to the lean-to, rendered above. The rear of the original house features a small 20th-century light at the centre, first floor, and to the right, ground floor, with slate sills. The outhouse on the right has a 20th-century door and window. The rear of the former barn has a door and a two-light casement at ground floor, and two two-light casements at first floor. The front garden wall is of slatestone rubble with slate and quartz capping. The wall rises to each side of the house, and in the front range, there are central granite monolith piers with shaped necking and ball finials. The interior has not been inspected.
