Farm Buildings About 30 Metres North Of Treboul Farmhouse

The farm buildings located about 30 metres north of Treboul Farmhouse are a group of estate farm structures dating from around 1860. They were built for the Port Eliot estate by the Great Western Railway, with few later alterations. The buildings are constructed from slatestone rubble with stone dressings and feature slurried slate roofs.

The overall layout of the farmyard is U-shaped, consisting of large stables, a barn connected by a covered way that housed a threshing machine, a second barn, and an attached cart shed. The stables are two storeys high, with gable ends at the front and rear. They feature raised gables over clerestorey ventilators with scalloped boards at the eaves. The front gable end has central 20th-century double doors, with a blocked round arch to the right and left, and four doors on the right side. The left side includes two doors and two ventilators. Inside, horses were kept on one side while cows were housed at a lower level on the right side.

The barn to the southeast is also two storeys and has a straw loft on the upper floor. It features four doors on the front gable end, including an upper loading door and a ventilation slit. The left side has a ventilation slit, two doors (one blocked), and two windows (one blocked). The right side has two round-arched blocked doorways with dressed stone heads.

The covered way connects this barn to another barn to the southwest, which is two storeys high with a hipped roof. This barn has two doors at ground level and an upper loading door facing the covered way. The right side features double doors with brick segmental heads and a blocked upper loading door, while the left side has three upper louvred windows.

Attached to the north is a lower two-storey shed with two bays, featuring two double doors and a window, along with a loading door above. The cart shed at the end on the right is open-fronted and consists of five bays, with the upper level supported on circular granite piers set on roughly-hewn granite bases. It is slate-hung at the upper level and includes two windows and a central loading door.

The construction of Treboul Farmhouse and these farm buildings was a form of compensation for land lost in St Germans village due to the railway's construction.
