Description
Trevecca Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the mid to late 18th century. It features painted and unpainted slatestone rubble walls, a steep asbestos slate roof on the front range and rear lean-to, and a hipped rag slate roof on the rear wing. The building has an external stone rubble stack over the right-hand gable end, a later brick stack on the left gable end, and a tall rubble stack between the rear wing and lean-to.
The farmhouse has a two-room plan originally with a central stair between a parlour on the left and a kitchen on higher ground on the right. In the early 19th century, it was extended with a dairy/pantry and wash house at the rear in two phases. It is two storeys high and has a nearly symmetrical three-window south-west front. The central flat-headed doorway features an early 19th-century four-panel door with a slate hood above. The other openings have segmental rubble arches over early 19th-century two-light casements with glazing bars, except for the first-floor left window and the doorway, which are later replacements. The rear wall of the wing has three similar early 19th-century two- and three-light casements under timber lintels, with the two ground-floor windows featuring iron stanchions and the right-hand pantry window having perforated zinc gauze.
Inside, the right-hand room has roughly chamfered ceiling beams, and there is an original wide, steep T-plan stair with a later stick balustrade leading to the landing. The interior includes three original two-panel doors with raised-and-fielded panels, two original planked doors, and slate flags behind the stair. The visible carpentry and joinery are mainly from the 19th century, including slate shelves in the pantry. The roof structures have not been inspected but are likely to be original.
