Treluggan Manor

Treluggan Manor, Landrake with St Erney

A farmhouse, now house, probably dating from the late 17th century. It was extensively remodelled in the mid-19th century, with further alterations and additions in the 19th century and later. The building is constructed of rubble, rendered, with a hipped asbestos slate roof and rear lateral stacks to each room, plus a stack to the left side.

The original plan was probably a two-room arrangement with a central entrance, each room heated by a rear lateral stack, and a stair tower to the rear right. The end room to the left may date from the original build, situated at a lower floor level with its own rear lateral stack. The 18th-century remodelling involved re-roofing and creating a symmetrical front elevation of three bays to the left with two bays to the right. The principal rooms were positioned to the front, flanking an entrance passage with a stair to its rear, while the original stair was retained as a service stair with a rear kitchen wing added. In the early 19th century, two canted bays were added either side of the front door. The two bays to the right form one large room at lower floor level, heated by a rear lateral stack.

The exterior displays two storeys with a symmetrical three-bay range to the left and two bays to the right. The central bay has a 20th-century panelled door with pilasters. Single-storey canted bays flank the central door, each with 16-pane sashes. At first floor, 12-pane sashes with exposed boxes appear to the right and left of a central paired 16-pane sash, with a string course running below the first-floor windows. The two bays to the right have pilasters rising the full height; the first bay features a ground-floor 16-pane sash with sidelights under a recessed arch, with a similar sash above. The end bay to the right has a 12-pane sash at ground floor and a two-light casement at first floor. The left side has a buttress. The right side contains a 12-pane sash and half-glazed door, with an 8-pane sash at first floor. A single-storey addition to the right of the main block features an attic, with a half-glazed door and 20th-century casement at ground floor. To the rear, a four-pane sash lights the 18th-century stair, with a bay extended to the right around the stair. The rear lateral stack rises from the roof slope. A two-storey rear wing with hipped roof, built around the 17th-century stair tower during the 18th century, has two 20th-century windows at ground floor and one at first floor, with a single light at ground floor to the right side. A single-storey addition with attic to the left includes three 20th-century windows at ground floor and a 20th-century flat-roofed dormer, with a ventilation slit to the left side.

The interior retains significant period detail. The front entrance hall has a stone floor, a plain moulded cornice (partially replaced in the 20th century), dado panelling, and six-panelled doors to the rooms either side. An open-well stair to the rear features a moulded handrail, ramped dado panelling, and primitive Ionic column newels. The room to the right retains some dado panelling. The rear stair tower contains an 18th-century replacement stair, a dog-leg arrangement with stick balusters and ramped dado panelling. The end room to the right, at lower floor level, has panelling dating to circa 1930. A rear fireplace of granite (probably re-sited) features a Tudor arch with recessed spandrels set with quatrefoils, positioned behind an arcade with two granite Doric columns. A round-arched recess appears in the front wall. At first floor, the two front rooms each have a two-panelled fielded door set in a moulded eared architrave. The stair in the stair tower continues into the roof space across nine bays, much replaced in later work. The principal rafters are halved and pegged with collars, and there are four rows of trenched purlins.
