Trekennick Farmhouse

Trekkennick Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. It is constructed of rendered and painted stone rubble and cob, with areas of slate hung, and has a corrugated asbestos roof with gable ends replacing the original thatch. Stone end stacks are present.

The original plan was likely double-depth, with a central entrance leading to two main rooms at the front, heated by end stacks, and narrower service rooms at the rear within an integral outshut. The internal partitions of the front rooms may have been altered. A 19th-century porch and well house, which now functions as an entrance, sits directly into the larger room to the right. The smaller room on the left, likely the parlour, is situated on a slightly higher ground level which slopes down to the right.

The exterior presents a near-symmetrical three-window front. The 19th-century porch and well house has a slate roof, gabled on the left and hipped on the right, and houses a late 19th or 20th-century panelled door. It is flanked by two 20th-century windows, with three similar windows on the first floor.

Inside, the floor joists are fairly thin and slightly chamfered with run-out stops. Fireplaces have been blocked and fitted with 20th-century grates. The first floor was not inspected.
