Description
Great Tregue Farmhouse is a farmhouse, now a private house, likely dating from the late 17th or early 18th century, with extensions added around the mid-19th century. It is constructed of rendered stone rubble with a slate roof, featuring gable ends and a double gable end to two adjoining projecting rear wings separated by a central valley. Chimney stacks are made of stone rubble with brick shafts on the gable ends.
The original layout probably consisted of two rooms and a through passage, potentially with a hall-kitchen on the left and a parlour on the right. A mid-19th century extension was added to the rear, incorporating two gabled wings. The front facade is symmetrical and was probably remodelled around the mid-19th century, with three windows across the ground floor and first floor. The ground floor features two 19th-century tripartite sash windows with glazing bars, either side of a central entrance door within a rendered stone porch, probably dating from the late 19th or 20th century, featuring a hipped slate roof and a part-glazed door. The first floor has three 12-pane sashes. The rear wings have two storeys with painted brick segmental arches and two-light casements with glazing bars.
Inside, the hall-kitchen at the left end retains a timber lintel to the fireplace, with partially renewed jambs. The parlour fireplace has been remodelled, with the original timber lintel replaced by a dressed stone arch. The upper floors were not inspected. Local accounts suggest the house dates back to 1612 and has a connection to the priory at St Germans, according to information provided by a former owner.
