Tristford Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Likely dating from the 17th century or earlier, it was remodelled and extended in the mid-19th century. The construction is primarily rendered stone rubble, with a gabled slate roof. Rendered chimney stacks feature moulded cornices, and there is a similar stack at the junction with the rear wing. The original layout probably consisted of three rooms with a cross or through passage, potentially including an axial hall stack backing onto the passage and a gable end stack at the upper end. A substantial stone wall separated the hall and a larger inner room.

In the mid-19th century, the lower east end, including the passage, was demolished and rebuilt at a right angle to form the main front of the house, now composed of two principal rooms and a central stair hall. The original hall and inner room were raised and incorporated into the rear service wing, with a single-story outshut added to the angle. The front facade presents a symmetrical appearance with three windows, featuring large 12-pane sashes. A central doorway is framed by a 4-panel door and a plain rectangular fanlight, set within a circa early 20th-century glazed porch. The south-facing side of the rear wing has been remodelled with two 12-pane sashes on each floor. The north-facing side of the wing features a projecting stair turret and a large, single-story lean-to outshut in the angle.

The interior retains most of the mid-19th-century internal joinery, including panelled doors and a staircase with turned balusters. Within the rear wing, the junction of what was the original hall and inner room contains a stone newel stair turret. The hall fireplace has been blocked. The roof is entirely 19th century, using softwood trusses.
