Trenoweth Farmhouse And Cottage, And Attached Garden Wall

Trenoweth Farmhouse and Cottage, along with an attached garden wall, is a farmhouse and cottage built in the 18th century, with a late 19th-century extension. The original 18th-century structure is made of painted and rendered granite rubble and features a gabled scantle slate roof. It has a large granite stack finished in brick on the north gable and a brick rear lateral stack. The late 19th-century extension is constructed from coursed granite rubble with dressed quoins and lintels, also featuring a gabled slate roof—scantle slate on the 18th-century wing and dry slate on the 19th-century wing—along with brick end stacks.

The 18th-century range connects to the late 19th-century range via a two-storey link made of coursed granite, with dressed quoins, a hipped slate roof on the right (east), and tarred boarding. The overall layout is L-shaped, with the lower 18th-century house having a two-room plan that extends to the front left (northwest) in the late 19th century. The 18th-century house has two storeys and a west front featuring three windows with late 19th-century or 20th-century horned 2/2-pane sashes, along with an off-centre mid-20th-century half-glazed door. The rear elevation includes a 19th-century 6/6-pane sash under the eaves and a narrow 6-pane casement in a deep recess to the right, as well as 20th-century lean-to service extensions. The late 19th-century range has a symmetrical south front with three windows, horned 2/2-pane sashes, and a panelled door with an overlight.

Inside, there are 19th-century plank doors and exposed timber joists, though the roof is not visible. The late 19th-century extension features panelled doors and shutters, a moulded cornice in the left-hand drawing room, and a fine spiral staircase leading to the hall, which has a polished wood balustrade, stick balusters, and moulded nosings on the risers.

The property also includes a low granite wall on the west side of the front garden, which connects the outer angles of the L-shape and has rounded coping and piers flanking 20th-century iron gates. The 18th-century cottage is one of the earliest inhabited structures to have survived on the islands and remains in a relatively unaltered state of preservation.
