Trenute

Trenute is a farmhouse dating from the early to mid-17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of roughcast slate-stone and has a hipped slate roof on the right side. The original house was extended to the right in 1864, as indicated by a date on a joist. The building has two storeys and features three 2-light leaded casement windows directly below the eaves, with one on each side of a 6-panel door located under a hip-roofed porch to the left of the centre. There is also a leaded French window to the right. The farmhouse has an external end stack on the left and a ridge stack, which was formerly an end stack, on the right, both equipped with slate drips. At the rear, there is a 19th-century two-storey catslide outshut.

Inside, the room to the left of the ridge stack has chamfered and plain ceiling beams, and granite fireplaces with granite lintels have replaced wooden ones in the late 20th century. The date "1864" is carved on a joist in the ground-floor room to the right of the ridge stack. The original section of the farmhouse features a collar truss roof with three bays, plus a hipped bay to the left of the ridge stack, which has slots for original trenched purlins. The raising of the eaves, the right extension, and the outshut are all contemporary. It is noted that the windows were brought from Antony House near Torpoint in the mid-20th century. There is also a 20th-century lean-to at the rear on the right side of the outshut, which is not of special architectural interest.
